Engineering properties of sabkha soils in the benghazi plain and construction problems
Abstract This paper describes the geological, geotechnical and chemical properties of some Sabkha (lagoonal) soils in the Benghazi plain. Several buildings constructed on such soils show tilting and cracks. The cause of this trouble has been traced to the special characteristics of Sabkha soils. It is suggested that improved mix design and dense concrete should be used so as to make concrete in the foundation impermeable.
