Some geotechnical properties of soils in the Haditha area, W. Iraq
Abstract The present study is part of the regional engineering geological survey of the western deserts dealing with soil investigations attempting their classification and evaluation for engineering purposes. Field study has revealed that these soils are mainly of residual origin, partly they are colluvial and alluvial. Laboratory test results show that they composed of both coarse and fine fractions. The coarse-grained are mainly of SM-group, less frequently of SC-group. Fine-grained soils are of both CL-and ML groups in equal significance. These soils are seldom free from soluble salts, particularly sulphates in the form of secondary gypsum, some with a high content. Results are discussed in details. Important engineering properties with suitability for engineering use are also given.
