- Nepal is a mountainous country. Since the Himalayan range is a result of collision of Tibetan and Indian plates, the zone is the most active tectonic zone. The area is widely known for its complex structural deformation. Due to this, Nepal is suffering from different types of geo–hazards and instabilities. The rapid construction of infrastructure such as roads, irrigation, cannels and dams, tunnels, without due relating geology and engineering may cause the failure of such infrastructures. So, civil engineering students must have the knowledge of geology for planning, investigating and constructing.
We have completed this report, which entitled “GEOLOGICAL FIELD TRIP” which is based on practical knowledge on geology. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Basanta Devkota for his guidance and invaluable suggestions.
Finally, we are thankful for the geological field trip conducted under Institute of engineering by Sagarmatha Engineering College.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
One showing is worth hundreds saying!
Of course, theoretical lecture only can do nothing to know the earth.
To feel the earth, one must touch its soul. This field trip on engineering geology is basically based on this aspect.
At every step, an engineer has to encounter earth and earth, as a material or as construction site. So it proves the importance of geology to civil engineering professionals. He/she must go through the inner core of engineering geology for his/her perfection and for professionalism.
The trip was really fruitful to us and certainly we got a lot of knowledge about the earth.It’s great pleasure to express our sincere gratitude to our respected teacher Mr. Basanta Devkota, for his enthusiastic support, guidance and confidence towards us. His valuable suggestions helped greatly on gaining knowledge and completing the report successfully.We are grateful for his remarkable suggestions and encouragements and for his excellent guidance and helping us to focus our aims towards the proper direction on achieving the proper knowledge on geography.
Finally we are grateful of having such a cooperative company. Every attempt has been made to make this report as informative, compact, and to the point as far as possible. Lastly, we would like to appreciate for any suggestions and comments regarding to the report that may be helpful to raise our confidence and knowledge.
