Engineering Properties of Soils on Boubyan Island in Kuwait

Abstract:

To full understand engineering properties of soils on Boubyan island in Kuwait, some in-situ tests were performed along the highway and railway line, meanwhile some laboratory tests for soil samples from the different depth. It was concluded that its properties was low void ratio, low moisture content, low plasticity, low sensitivity, low permeability and high salt content. The soil classification belonged to CL and Marine-chloride-highly saline-soil.
