Geology and location of major coarse aggregate resources in Lebanon, Eastern Mediterranean
Abstract With the ongoing construction in Lebanon associated with renewal and urban expansion, the demand for coarse aggregates has soared. Traditionally, small quarries have been opened near to the centres of demand. However, in view of the detrimental environmental impact of these workings, a large number have been closed by the Lebanese government. In order to ensure that in the future the effect of quarrying on the environment is minimized, a survey of major coarse aggregate resources in Lebanon was undertaken. This paper reports on the field investigations in twenty quarries, covering some 80% of the Lebanese territory.
