Elastic Rebound Theory
- Rocks in the crust deform elastically until brittle failure occurs.
- Energy stored as elastic strain is released when the fault ruptures, generating seismic waves.
- Cycle repeats itself over time.

Geology plays a crucial role in construction, tunneling, and foundation design. A strong grasp of geological concepts can help civil engineers avoid costly mistakes in site selection and stability analysis.
Understanding how geology impacts construction can help civil engineers design safer structures. We explain concepts with real-world case studies and software tools.
