Engineering-geological properties of pliocene argillaceous sediments of the Wadi El-Natrun area (Egypt)
Abstract In the Wadi El Natrun area, Egypt, sediments of Upper Pliocene age, ranging from alluvial plain deposits passing through coastal plain sediments up into high-energy nearshore shallow-marine deposits, mark a transgression. Study of these sediments provides information about the origin, texture, distribution and composition of clay minerals, which in turn is used in the description of physicochemical and physicomechanical properties. The clay minerals present are smectite pure or with minor illitic layers (70–80%), illite (5–20%), and kaolinite (5–15%). The controlling factors in the physicochemical and physicomechanical properties of the Upper Pliocene sediments are primary composition, environment of deposition, microstructure characters, and physical properties. These interacting factors have been of varying importance in time and space in the engineering-geological properties of the studied sediments.
