Abstract

Engineering geological types of territory in India have been delineated which provide almost similar engineering geological conditions for assisting in unified method of engineering geological study, construction standards and working out other instructions for project planning.

Résumé

En Inde, les zones à caractéristiques géologiques et géotechniques analogues ont été délimitées afin de servir de base et d'aide pour les études de Géologie de l'ingénieur, les normes de construction et autres projets d'aménagement du territoire.
