Engineering geological mapping of gypsiferous formations, Sivas, Central Eastern Turkey

Irfan, T. Y. / Özkaya, I.

Abstract Preliminary engineering geological investigation has been carried out for a proposed railway route in Central Eastern Turkey. The area is dominantly composed of Pliocene clastic deposits and Oligo-Miocene evaporitic formations overlying older rocks of flysch and limestones. Problems caused by the engineering characteristics of gypsum, anhydrite and halite, which should be taken into consideration in any kind of engineering work, are discussed. Engineering geological mapping of the gypsiferous formations is complicated due to the complex distribution of different lithologies resulting from variable mode of occurrence of gypsum/anhydrite, widespread karstic solution phenomena, tectonic deformation and the deformation caused by anhydrite to gypsum transition.
