Copies of the slides provided on Canvas/UV
A field visit day should be organized according to the possibilities.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
- describe the basic geological processes
- identify the main minerals and rocks encountered on Earth surface
- describe the basic principles of geophysical methods and their contributions in geotechnical engineering
- explain how the geological conditions, the heterogeneity and the behaviour of geological materials influence some civil engineering applications
- propose the geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological and geophysical tests to perform to identify the geotechnical hazards associated with a civil engineering project
- analyse geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological and geophysical data to identify the geotechnical properties associated with a civil engineering project
