Principle of Engineering Geology by K.M. Banger

Principles of Engineering Geology by K.M. Banger is a foundational text that bridges the gap between geology and civil engineering. Aimed at students, engineers, and geologists, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the geological factors that influence engineering projects. It covers key concepts such as rock mechanics, soil properties, site investigations, geotechnical challenges, and the role of geological processes in the design and construction of infrastructure.

Banger’s clear, systematic approach makes complex geological principles accessible, with practical examples and case studies illustrating their real-world applications. The book emphasizes the importance of integrating geological knowledge into engineering practice to ensure the stability and safety of structures, from dams to roads to high-rise buildings. With its thorough treatment of engineering geology, this text serves as an essential resource for students of geotechnical engineering and professionals working in construction, mining, and environmental engineering.
