PAPER CODE - PCC CE 202

PCC - CE 202 Engineering Geology L:2 T:0 P:2 CREDIT:3

The objective of this Course is to focus on the core activities of

engineering geologists – site characterization and geologic hazard identification and
mitigation. Through lectures, labs, and case study examination student will learn to
couple geologic expertise with the engineering properties of rock and unconsolidated
materials in the characterization of geologic sites for civil work projects and the
quantification of processes such as rock slides, soil-slope stability, settlement,
and liquefaction. Engineering geology is an applied geology discipline that involves
the collection, analysis, and interpretation of geological data and information
required for the safe development of civil works. Engineering geology also includes
the assessment and mitigation of geologic hazards such earthquakes, landslides,
flooding; the assessment of timber harvesting impacts; and groundwater remediation
and resource evaluation. Engineering geologists are applied geoscientists with an
awareness of engineering principles and practice—they are not engineers.

PCC- CE 205 Introduction to Solid Mechanics L:3 T:0 P:0 CREDIT:3

The objective of this Course is to introduce continuum mechanics and

material modelling of engineering materials based on first energy principles:
deformation and strain; momentum balance, stress and stress states; elasticity and
elasticity bounds; plasticity and yield design. The overarching theme is a unified
mechanistic language using thermodynamics, which allows understanding, modelling and
design of a large range of engineering materials. The subject of mechanics of
materials involves analytical methods for determining the strength, stiffness
(deformation characteristics), and stability of the various members in a structural
system. The behaviour of a member depends not only on the fundamental laws that
govern the equilibrium of forces, but also on the mechanical characteristics of the
material. These mechanical characteristics come from the laboratory, where materials
are tested under accurately known forces and their behaviour is carefully observed
and measured. For this reason, mechanics of materials is a blended science of
experiment and Newtonian postulates of analytical mechanics.
