As a case study, the geotechnical assessment of the New Minia City is studied applying direct current (DC) resistivity technique. In the presented study, the DC resistivity data are interpreted to (i) characterize the subsurface layer distributions, (ii) deduce the subsurface structures considering the surface geological and structural setting and borehole information and (iii) predict geotechnical parameters of the bedrock based on empirical relationships. The inversion results of DC resistivity data indicate that a lens of clay is locally capping the fractured limestone in different parts of the area. The constructed geoelectrical cross-sections show that the limestone bedrock is highly fractured regarding many normal faults trending in the NW and NE directions. In an attempt to derive empirical relationships for predicting the geotechnical parameters, the inverted resistivity values of the fractured limestone were correlated with different geotechnical parameters, Rock Quality Designation (RQD) and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS). It is noticed that there are good correlations between the limestone resistivity values and geotechnical parameters obtained from borehole data applying linear relations. Accordingly, the results indicate that the DC resistivity method constitutes a valuable technique to introduce a preliminary geotechnical assessment for new urban areas.","PeriodicalId":100964,"journal":{"name":"NRIAG Journal of Astronomy and Geophysics","volume":"74 1","pages":"272 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85596500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electrical resistivity images present the general structure of the investigated area, with the possibility of tracking the fault in the subsurface. The verification of faults and comparison of ERT profiles with the excavated trench logs confirmed the success of ERT. The results of ERT and trenching in three major parts of Karachi Arc show: (i) the southern inner part of the arc was inactive in Late Quaternary time, where the Sona Fault did not experience any recent movement; (ii) Kirthar and Khud faults in the northwestern part of the study area are active but do not extend into the southern Karachi Arc; and (iii) the frontal part of Karachi Arc is characterised by Quaternary faulting of limited strike length with a moderate rate of seismic activity.

Soil samples were collected to a depth of 50 cm at the mid points of 2 m by 2 m cell. These were analyzed for properties that include: moisture content, particle size analysis, Organic Matter (OM), pH and electrical conductivity.

These phosphate deposits are considered as an important potential resource for uranium and rare earth elements as by-products. The study area lies to the NE of Qena town and dissected by Qena – Safaga asphaltic road. The Duwi Formation in the study area conformably overlies Qusseir Formation and underlies Dakhla Formation; this succession is capped with Esna and Thebes Formations and eroded along wadis which are filled with Quaternary deposits. Phosphate deposits (Duwi Formation) of Abu Had area are enriched with uranium, which may be extracted as a by-product of making fertilisers. Petrographic studies indicate that phosphate beds are composed of phosphatic particles which include collophane grains, bioclasts (bone and teeth fragments), as well as, non-phosphatic particles which include quartz, calcite and pyrite embedded in silica, calcite or iron oxides cement. XRD results showed that hydroxylapatite is the principal phosphate mineral, and the non-phosphate minerals include calcite, quartz, gypsum and anhydrite. Ground gamma-ray spectrometric results indicated that the study area has K values range from 0.2% to 4.4%, eTh values range from 0.5 to 18 ppm and eU values range from 0.5 to 100 ppm. The phosphate-bearing beds of Duwi Formation have the highest values of eU reach up to 100 ppm. The uranium anomalies mostly elongated in NW-SE trend that related to the NW-SE strike-slip faults of the area. The average value of annual effective dose rates of phosphates at Abu Had area equals 0.32 mSv/y which, less than the worldwide permissible level of annual effective dose rate (1 mSv/y).","PeriodicalId":100964,"journal":{"name":"NRIAG Journal of Astronomy and Geophysics","volume":"82 1","pages":"375 - 392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72904796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
