PE3311 Geology and Surveying Laboratory Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVE:

 To demonstrate various methods involved in the preparation of structural maps and interpretation and calculation the thickness of the beds, studying depositional environment using grain size analysis and find out sediment types using Sand – Silt – Clay ratio.

LIST OF EXPERIMENTS

Geology laboratory

2) Estimation of Thickness, Distance and Depth of the ore body.
3) Estimation of Throw and Nature of the fault.
4) Interpretation of surface Geology using contour maps.
5) Sand – Silt – Clay ratio estimation.
6) Grain – Size analysis.
7) Identification of important sedimentary rocks in hand specimen.
8) Identification of important sedimentary rocks in microscopic level
Surveying Laboratory
1. Study of linear measuring instruments and chain surveying.
2. Study of theodolite and traversing with theodolite,
3. Study of levels and ordinary leveling with tilting level, Profile leveling,
4. Study of total station and measurement with total station.
5. Study of Global Positioning System (GPS) and measurement with GPS.

TOTAL: 60 PERIODS

OUTCOME:

 Students would be able to understand the preparation of Geological maps and identify the rock specimens by Megascopic and Microscopic, Identify the Depositional environment and Sediment types.
 Students would gain a basic understanding of the principles and operation of the Global Positioning System
 Students would gain the ability to measure differences in elevation, draw and utilize contour plots, and calculate volumes for earthwork
 Students would improve ability to function as a member of a survey party in completing the assigned field work
 Students would appreciate the need for licensed surveyors to establish positioning information for property and structures.
