Nonconformity
Engineering consideration
• Unconformity indicates the
discontinuity in the sequence of the
rocks. The behavior of the rocks
above and below the unconformity
shows the variation in their
mechanical properties and hence
affect the stability of the project.
• Unconformity marks the a weak
contact which can allow percolation
of water and can also act as fault
plane towards forces imposed from
above.
