It provides a discussion on the formation of rocks and soil deposits by explaining different types of rocks, their structural features and properties and explains the classification of soils as well as the applications of engineering geology to the various projects of civil engineering. Besides plenty of figures and chapter end summaries, it included appendices which give additional information. Designed for the undergraduate students of civil engineering, this book is equally useful for the practicing civil engineers.
