Earth Sciences for Civil Engineering - Part 2
Offered By: NPTEL via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
The course introduces the student to basic principles of geosciences, geological hazards and their applications in civil engineering. The first 4-week modules of this course will help the student to have a better understanding of the interior of the earth, the earth system, and its process. The next 4 week modules will cover geological hazards and environmental impact, active faults and its related hazard in India, the importance of geological structures in dams and tunnels, fluvial geomorphology and groundwater, tsunami, landslide and flood hazard, mapping, monitoring and management of hazards.
