Features: "Engineering Geology" is a major professional course for civil engineering majors. This textbook is tailored to the training objectives and basic requirements of applied undergraduate programs, emphasizing specificity, practicality, and applicability. It strives for clear and concise theoretical concepts, based on the fundamental knowledge and principles of engineering geology, focusing on introducing various engineering geological conditions and issues, as well as engineering geological analysis and evaluation methods. It highlights and enriches practical content closely linked to engineering practice, such as engineering geological surveys, paying attention to solving engineering geological problems related to rock and soil media in various construction projects. It aims to make engineering geology one of the necessary systematic efforts to achieve specific engineering goals. During the textbook development process, every effort was made to reflect the application of new technologies in geological research. The book consists of 7 chapters, including: Introduction, Minerals and Rocks, Quaternary Geology and Engineering Geological Properties of Soils, Geological Structures, Groundwater, Dynamic Geological Processes and Engineering Geological Problems, Engineering Geological Surveys, and Geotechnical Engineering Stability Evaluation. For ease of learning, each chapter includes teaching objectives and tips, chapter summaries, and discussion questions. This book can serve as a teaching material for civil engineering majors and related disciplines, and is also suitable for civil and construction engineering technicians for reference.
