| Abstract | ||
| Geotechnical Properties of Limstone rocks in Fatha Formation , Fatha area were determined in order to American standard specificatios to evaluate its Suitability as a building stone, The study included (20) selected stations , in which a detailed engineering geological survey had been done according to Anon,1972, 1977 for (4) travers. Geotechnical tests on collected samples of all stations were accomplished, chemical and mineralogical tests were done on the limestone sample to determine its mineralogical components. The results showed decrease in the petrophysical properties (density) and rising of porosity and a reliable of saturation coefficient which resulted to highly frost resistance, in addition to decrease of uniaxial compressive strength, these properties were compared with Iraqi, American standard specificatios The results confirm the suitability of some samples for using as a building stone | ||
