Abstract

Engineering geology mapping has been central to engineering geology research since it is objectives that the project continues to develop and investigate methods for obtaining data and “mapping’ this data to be suitable for the needs of civil engineering and environmental assessments. Engineering geological maps of Chabahar area (at a scale of 1:25,000) was prepared to provide engineering geological information as an aid in land use planning. Study area consists of tertiary deposits and studied for assessment of some parameters such as foundation condition, excavation condition, waste disposal condition, engineering geological problems and environmental problems. Data collection was done through field investigations, inclusive borehole boring, systematic sampling and field and laboratory tests. Finally, results are shown in applied geological maps.
