| Abstract | ||
| Geotechnical properties of many boreholes were collected and interpreted for identifying the bearing strata in Basrah region. Based on these geotechnical properties, the lithological succession along the Shatt Al-Arab River from Al-Qurna to Al-Fao in Basrah Region, could be classified into eight layers. The bearing capacity of surface layer is 300-600 kN/m2, which is suitable for small construction projects, whereas, the deepest eighth layer has N-value >50, this is suitable for large construction projects. The other sixth layers in between are very weak and of low plasticity, where the N-value is <15, which are not suitable for any construction projects. The lateral distribution of the layers explain the source and the geological history of the area. | ||
