تقييم الخواص الهندسية للصخور في مواقع مختارة من منطقة سيكانيان-كركوك-شمال شرق العراق

الملخص EN

The research included the study of some Geotechnical properties of selected Locations from the Sikanian region, which is Miocene – Pliocene and quaternary deposits.

The study area located in the northeastern part of kirkuk governorate.

The samples were collected from four sites.

Moisture content, dry density, porosity, sciemic wave velocity, and uniaxial compressive strength tests were conducted of the rock samples in the laboratory.

The results of petrophysical tests showed that the Dry Density ranged between (1.38-2.58) gm.

cm-3 and Porosity between (13.22- 24.5)% .

The uniaxail compresive strength results ranged between (6.71-52.45) Mpa The seismic velocity of the sandstone was higher than the seismic velocity of the claystone and showed a good positive correlation between Dynamic and Mechanic properties, This relation can be used to find and extract Uniaxial compressive strength values for sandstone and claystone of Sikanian region in the case of ence of standard sample.
