The first Geological Strength Index (GSI) Chart was invented to
classify rock mass properties. The GSI Chart developer assumes that
qualified and skilled geologists or engineering geologists would
evaluate and record the rock mass properties. Without a robust
geological background and field experience, many researchers
misuse the GSI charts. D...
Received: 28 March 2024 Many studies have focused on using the non-destructive testing (NDT) method to determine defects in piles. This paper presents an analytical approach that compares the obtained profiles with typical profiles to confirm the integrity of jet grouting column piles using the cast-in-situ Sonic Integrity Testing (SIT) method. In...
Duhok City is characterized by being built in a mountainous area, mostly limited between the Zawa and Bekhir mountains. The city and surroundings have been exposed to many rockslide accidents, especially during the rainy seasons. Some rock slides and falls occurred as a result of earthquakes occurring nearby in Iraq and Turkey. The current study ai...
The local and central governments focused on the right side of Mosul for urban development, especially after the destruction that occurred during its liberation. The view of the study area on the river and the green spaces on the other side of the river drew the attention of the Municipality of Mosul to develop it into a tourist attraction that ref...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the stability of rocky slopes largely formed of sandstone and claystone clastics along Highway 80-2 in Mosul City, northern Iraq. Seven separate stations along the route were covered by the investigation, and each station included two to five study locations. Field studies were used to identify both man-...
The purpose of this study is the find a method of treatment to improve the properties of claystone of the geological formations that are widespread in Northern Iraq by kaolinite addition. Washing clay with different ratios of water is another treatment to find the perfect quantity of water to dissolve the more percent of salts. More improvement was...
A geological field survey was conducted in Soran District in the Beeston cave located in the Bradost Anticline, northeastern Iraq. The presence of an upper hole in the ceiling of the cave with a diameter of about 3 meters and a main gap dimension is up to 40 x 22 m was found through that. In combination with an analysis of the remote sensing data...

The adverse effects of successive stages of human modification and variations in river morphology concerning width and depth have been demonstrated. The construction of the Mosul Dam, which preve...
The proposed Reduction System of the Rock Mass Strength RSRMS depends on the effects of discontinuities to reduce the strength of rocks. The reduction of rock mass strength happened when the properties of discontinuities are inferior. Most classification systems worldwide used are employing engineering parameters separately. The association of the...

This study explores the third stage of the Tigris River terraces at the University of Mosul. Due to its importance, most of its buildings, especially the modern ones, were built on these terraces, and some engineering problems appeared in those buildings. The current study aims to know the petrography of the rocks, the emergence of these terraces,...
Received: 17 April 2023 Building stones have various mineralogical, textures, microstructures, and physical and mechanical properties. Limestone, dolomite, and gypsum stone samples were taken from the old city of Mosul, which was destroyed due to the liberation operation of the city. From the study of the rock segments, it appeared that there was a...
Mosul has been freed from the clutches of terrorists since 2018, yet the city remains in serious need of reconstruction and redevelopment. The current study attempts to determine whether the fragments of damaged structures can be used in the reconstruction of the old city of Mosul, as well as its economic, cultural, and civilizational feasibility....
By the excavations of archeological water canal from the early of the 7 th century in Basra Governorate south of Iraq, remains of water wheel are discovered (Bibi, 2016). In northern Iraq there are several stream valleys are exploited as tourist sites especially in summer season (Fig. 1). These sites have used the national electricity for all purpo...
Recently, structural lineaments have typically been increasingly emphasized in morphotectonic research because they are thought to be an excellent guide for determining tectonic settings and fracture zones in rocks. ERDAS Software was used to extract and analyze the lineaments within the Sangaw area, which is located in the northeastern part of Ir...
Mosul is the provincial capital of the Nineveh Governorate located on the River Tigris, near the ancient city of Nineveh. The study focused on the urban planning of the old Mosul City, which was built hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years, and its cultural, security, economic, and environmental importance. The city was designed accordin...
Morphotectonic features were investigated in the Shireen anticline, which is located in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq to get more insight into the effect of the tectonic activity on this anticline. For deducing and illustrating the morphotectonic features of the anticline, some digital processing methods have been applied to the part of the...
The scarcity of clay and alluvial deposits in the valley of the Tigris River and its tributaries in the northern region of Iraq called for the search for suitable clays for the construction ceramic industry in geological formations. A geological survey of the mudstone layers of the Al-Fat’ha and Injana formation rocks was conducted in the districts...
The environmental impact was illustrated by rockslide and erosion on the Duhok Dam and its reservoir. The evaluation of the geotechnical characteristics of the Gercus Formation was conducted. The research plan was divided into three phases, field, laboratory, and office works. The fieldwork included studying all the geological phenomena of the regi...
Analysis of the terrain using three-dimensional models offers a deep insight view of ground surface topography and terrain representation. The Chinara anticline is one of the main structures of NW-SE trends for the highly folded zone in northeastern Iraq. The objective of this study is to understand the interrelationship between topography and morp...
In many sections, the road leading up to the top of Maqlub Mountain is dangerous due to the fall of several rocks. There were six locations recognized for this dynamic geological process, rockfalls of varying sizes, with very large measurements up to 230 x 120 x 110 cm are falling on the road. The study suggested three theoretical models explain th...
The naturally stable slope of Bekhme Residential Complex had been cut to eight steps. These steps are about 30–40 m in runs, with a rise of about 5–7 m. On these steps, the residential complex was built, supported by retaining walls. The construction operations began, and many failures occur after a few months. Three reasons for failures were point...
In northern Iraq, countless non-abuse stream valleys can be used to store water for a variety of purposes; domestic, supplementary irrigation, and recharging groundwater. Bandawaya is one of the stream valleys, which form the first perspective has excellent quality. The location of the suggested dam has been evaluated by hydrological and geotechnic...

Can we consider this shape as a geological structure resulting from the effect of the tectonic movement of the Arab plate in a counterclockwise direction, or is it a result of the effect of weathering processes? The site has been visited and it was found that the inclination of the beds indicates the formation of an anticline, but who can help explain it.
I think the calculation of safety factor can be done more ease if the calculation done to the all slipping section.
