This important U.S. Army document, Geology Training Manual 3-34.61, has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format. The purpose of this manual is to relate the science of geology to military engineering. It is to be used for both reference and training. The manual is not intended to make geologists out of military engineers, but rather to present some of the geologic principles required for the correct solutions of many military engineering problems. It includes a survey of basic geologic materials, features, and processes. It further describes the geologic factors t...
This important U.S. Army document, Geology Training Manual 3-34.61, has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format. The purpose of this manual is to relate the science of geology to military engineering. It is to be used for both reference and training. The manual is not intended to make geologists out of military engineers, but rather to present some of the geologic principles required for the correct solutions of many military engineering problems. It includes a survey of basic geologic materials, features, and processes. It further describes the geologic factors that affect the properties and occurrence of natural construction materials, the construction of dams, tunnels, roads, airfields, and bridges, the location of water supplies, and terrain evaluation.
