| Abstract: |
According to the urban extension of Arar’s city, the soil properties are strongly required. The surface deposits of Wadi Arar, that extend for 22 km at north-east direction is a mature river deposits. The deposits are silty sand with low plasticity as unified soil classification system (USCS). The average contents of sand, silt and gravel are 54%, 30% and 16% respectively. Due to the convergence of the Sha’ibs with Wadi Arar, the average content of sand, silt and gravel are changed. The results indicated that the soil in Wadi Arar is suitable as a structure soil and it is not suitable as a cementing material product |
