- Importance of geological studies in engineering investigations,
- precautions to avoid misleading conclusions likely to be drawn while interpreting drilling data with particular reference to RQD,
- case histories illustrating economics made possible by proper geological studies.
- Factors affecting strength and water tightness, stability of cuts and ability to stand without support,
- significance of features like gas cavities, jointing, weathering, hydrothermal alteration, volcanic breccia, techylytes, dykes, fractures, field structures of flows, stratigraphic sequence of flows etc. and their significance in civil engineering projects.
- Strength and water tightness of Deccan trap rocks from foundation point of view, physical properties such as compressive strength, water absorption etc. of basalts, effect of weathering and hydrothermal alteration on engineering properties of rocks, deterioration of rock masses on exposure to atmosphere and suitable treatment for such rocks.
- Investigations for determining the foundation treatment for adverse geological features, determination of foundation levels/cutoff levels for dams, groutability of rocks, correction of adverse feature by grouting, purpose of consolidated and curtain grouting, determining depth and zones of grouting, relation of zones of grouting with height of dams, foundation treatment for fractures having different manifestations, jointed rocks, techylytes and dykes.
