الملخص EN

This study has been conducted in the site of the Technical Institute/Kut, which is located (10) Kilometers south of Wassit city.The research work was designed to study soil characteristics and some factors such as soil physical properties which represent moisture content, porosity, density real, bulk density and conductivity of water, soil texture, porous and chemical properties such as sulfate, sodium, chloride and pH, EC .

The main objective of the study is the effect of the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil on foundations of concrete structure , and the study found that the soil of the entrance Institute is the best site have a few percentage from sulfate and chloride salts that effect on foundations of concrete structure
