Abstract
This study show the gypsum content and the distribution of gypsiferous soils in surface soils at some regions in eastern part and the neighborhood regions of the western part in Basrah Governorate south of Iraq, their sources and the geological factors effect that. Results show different gypsum content at the different regions of the governorate. Soils in the eastern part have gypsum content range between 0.3-6.19 %,and between 11.3-33.88 % at the western part which effect the stability of engineering projects. Sites of projects need intensive geotechnical investigations to detect the horizontal and vertical content of gypsum and the engineering improvement for the sites to prevent dangerous of settlement and collapse.
