The aim of this course is to expose the students to the foundations of geology
and geotechnical engineering by giving due attention to the applications and
practices of geotechnical engineers through exercises, laboratory works and
assignments. Exposures are given to students on the basic principles of
geology and its application in civil engineering through basic understanding
given from topics on rocks of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic origin,
surface processes, geological structures, geological maps interpretation, plate
tectonic and formation of rocks in Malaysia. The second part of the course
entails the basic principles of geotechnical engineering that covers basic soil
properties, classification of soils, compaction, permeability, seepage and
effective stress of soils. Laboratory works involve basic rock identification, tests
on Atterberg limits, specific gravity, permeability and compaction.
