Importance of geology in construction and prevent the hazards Krishna Singh Ved Mishra Abstract A detailed and accurate knowledge inventory of geology is an essential part of construction and hazard analysis. Geotechnical failures usually occur due to a combination of factors such as construction design, geological conditions, construction problems and natural disasters.

Concrete is the second-most-used substance in the world after water, and is the most widely used building material. Strong soil is soil that does not expand or contract excessively in regards to moisture, and it has a good density, which means it won't greatly compact or settle after construction is complete. 3.Competent rocks to offer a stable foundation 4.Proper Geological Structures - Single most important factor These tests are performed on bag samples, jar samples, undisturbed samples and/or split-spoon samples in order to gain additional information about the condition of the soil.
