CONCLUSION


9. Conclusion

Thus as a conclusion of the three day geological tour to the Malekhu site , we realized the  engineering geology has wide scope in civil engineering field and is very much important in both theoretical and practical point of view. Since Malekhu has various geological features, different types of mass movement activities like slope failure, landslides and formed with different types of rock, river morphologies and different rock formations, it has proved that it is oned of the best site for the geological studies and we were able to explore it to its maximum depth though to explore any geologically important place to totally is impossible.

Now, we have knowledge to identify and cause measure about such field. We are now, able to identify different type of rocks weather sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous and different types of mass movement activities, its cause and nature, slope stability measurement for stability analysis Also, this geological tour gave the knowledge about morphology of river channel such as external appearance of river channel, their structures like Delta, Side bar or Point bar, Island, River valleys and nature of river etc. The gain knowledge of rock mass rating and determining the quality , strength and class  of the rock at the site.

 The Geological tour to Malekhu is more fruitful and from that we achieved knowledge and process of documentation of different geological activities, geological boundaries, geological units, technique of rock mass rating etc. It is better to say that Engineering geological tour for a civil engineer is one of the most essential aspect for his skill, practical knowledge about the field and in overall career development.

We are now able to identify various types of rocks, their uses and their engineering significances. We are able to analyze the engineering significance of various civil engineering works.  We have also learned about weathering, different types of rocks such as sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous and different types of mass movement activities, its cause and nature, slope stability measurement for stability analysis Also, this geological tour gave the knowledge about morphology of river channel such as external appearance of river channel, their structures like Delta, Side bar or Point bar, Island, River valleys and nature of river etc.

In short this visit gave us lots of ideas regarding engineering works and geology. We also gained knowledge to analyze the engineering significance of various landforms. So the visit was fruitful.
