Questions?
11
Introduction
Geology – is it necessary in Engineering?
12
Rock Properties – what are they?
• physical properties?
• mechanical properties?
• hydrological properties?
14
15
Mechanical properties
response of materials to applied loads
• rock strength – compressive strength,
– tensile strength,
– shear strength
• abrasiveness, or resistance to wear
• impact sensitivity

Hydrological properties
• aquiclude– a geological substance that
does not allow the movement of liquid or gas - impermeable
• aquifer – a geological substance that
allows the movement of liquid of gas easily – highly permeable
two end members of a continuous scale
impermeable / impervious
low permeability
moderate permeability
good permeability
20
Permeability in a porous rock
21
Permeability in a fractured rock
