A Geology for Engineers (7th Edition)

A Geology for Engineers (Seventh Edition) By F. G. H. Blyth & M. H. de Freitas

A Geology for Engineers by F. G. H. Blyth and M. H. de Freitas is a long-standing introductory textbook that bridges geology and engineering practice. This seventh edition presents the fundamentals of geology with a clear focus on their practical relevance to civil and mining engineering projects, using accessible explanations, diagrams, and real-world case examples to help students grasp both theoretical and applied concepts.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Minerals and rocks

• Structures of rocks, folding and faulting

• Geological maps and their interpretation

• Groundwater and its engineering significance

• Weathering and soil formation

• Site investigation techniques

• Engineering properties of rocks and soils

• Geology of dam and reservoir sites

• Geology of tunnels and underground excavations

• Coastal, river, and slope engineering geology

• Geological hazards (landslides, subsidence, earthquakes)

• Geology and construction materials

Key features:

• Clear, accessible presentation aimed at engineering (not geology) students

• Extensive use of diagrams, photographs, and worked examples tied to real engineering scenarios

• Emphasis on the practical application of geological principles to site investigation and construction

• Long-established, widely used reference in civil and mining engineering education

• Suitable for both classroom learning and field/professional reference

Perfect for:

• Civil and mining engineering students

• B.E./B.Tech students studying engineering geology

• Undergraduate coursework in geotechnical and site investigation subjects

• Faculty teaching geology for engineers

• Practicing civil/mining engineers needing a geology reference
