| Abstract | ||
| Results of six subsurface samples at depth ( 0.5 -1.4 ) m , collected from sites within Tikrit following ( Hay Almoalemen ,Hay Alasree , Hay Alqadessyiah , Tikrit University) , indicated coarse& fine Gypseous soils ( Gravelly sand , Silty clayey sand ) inorganic& non plastic , according to Unified Soil Classification System ( U.S.C.S ) . Water content values range ( 2% - 9%) , specific gravity values ( 2.39 - 2.59 ) , and dry density values ( 1.47 - 1.68 ) gm/cm3 . []Porosity values about ( 34.30% - 37.71% ) , and total dissolved salts ( 18% - 61% ) . Gypsum is dominate within ( 17.64% - 60.11% ) , and its percentage increased with depth . The results indicate Weak geotechnical properties ,because it mostly gypseous soil with friable sandy content . | ||
