You will find in the following some basic instructions on how to prepare the geological report for field trips. Report Format  The size limit: Normally, contain your report in 4-10 pages of written text plus additional pages for Figures (index).  Follow specified spacing. Generally use 1.5 x line spacing unless advised.  Start with the title page (including your name) or student number as requested.  Include your own field sketches or photographs. It is generally better to position figures within the text rather than group them at the end of the report.  Give a sequential number to all figures (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, etc.)  Add a brief, informative caption to the figures. Sections of the Report The Report should contain the following sections:  Abstract  Introduction  Your material/Methodology  Application of materials/Execution  Result Discussion/Conclusions  References 1. Abstract (maximum 1/2 page) The abstract must be brief, but it has to tell the reader  What is the goal of the work (e.g. study the influence of w/c ratio on the workability of concrete) etc.  Which type of work has been carried out (e.g. lab experiments etc.)?  What are the results obtained (e.g. increasing the w/c ratio increase the workability of the mix), preferably not more than 2 sentences. 2. Introduction (maximum 2 page)  Depending on the project selected give brief history and theory on that topic.  Discuss general material classification, factors affecting the selection process.  How has the work been done (using the lab test, name your tests) 3 Materials 2-CIVIL 0010-A-Fall 16—CW2-PMM  Give the general plan of the report (e.g. how do you collect your sample and what will you do to discuss these properties). 3. Your material/Methodology (maximum 3 page)  Discuss the properties of the selected material (e.g. for auditorium material used for ceiling, walls etc)  The tests to check the properties.  The results you get and analysis for those results. 4. Application of materials/Execution (maximum 4 page)  Explain how the material will effect in terms of performance.  What was the procedure to perform any test?  Procedure for mix design etc 5. Result Discussion/Conclusions (maximum 1 page) State briefly what are the major achievements of your work? 6. References Use CU Harvard referencing system as per our college rules. 7.
