Study Some Physical Properties For Soil In Tuz khormatu North Of Iraq

Abstract

In this research, a study of some physical properties for the soil of tuz khormatu have been achieved of evaluating these properties represented by physical properties for five locations with different depths. The results of Particle size analysis have showed that the soil of study area is not homogeneous and it contains a wide range of particle sizes and difference in particle sizes ratio that form the soil. The coarse soil is dominating in the study area with varying ratios with less ratios of fine soils. The coarse and fine sedimentations comes successively because of the successive flood waves. whereas most results of Atterburg limits showed that the fine soil has moderately plastic. and The specific gravity values for fine soil has ranged between (2.59-2.88) whereas The specific gravity for coarse soil (2.64-2.66).and the compaction results have showed that the maximum dry density for fine soil has ranged (1.845-2.006)g/cm³ and the optimum moisture content (10.33-12.3)% while the maximum dry density of coarse soil is (2.285-2.306) g/cm³ and the optimum moisture content (4.725-5.275)%. And the results of (C.B.R) for two samples of coarse soil (73-120)% at (95%)of compaction
