Geotechnical properties for sediment of Tigris River reach banks within Tikrit town/ Iraq

The geotechnical, engineering and chemical properties of the sediments of river terraces on the right bank and flood plain on the left bank of Tigris river. The physical tests include (specific gravity, absorption%, moisture content %, atterberge limits, grain size  analysis) showed that the domina...

description The geotechnical, engineering and chemical properties of the sediments of river terraces on the right bank and flood plain on the left bank of Tigris river. The physical tests include (specific gravity, absorption%, moisture content %, atterberge limits, grain size  analysis) showed that the dominant component of soil is (gravel) with varied amount of fine components, the engineering tests include direct shear test, CBR, and point load test, while the chemical analyses include gypsum%, T.D.S% and O.M% showed increase in gypsum% and  T.S.S% in right bank and increase of O.M%, and decrease of the three ratios in the left bank because the leaching of the sediments. The geotechnical study showed many engineering problems occurs in engineering establishments specially in the river terraces because the high ratios of gypsum and T.S.S.
