Geotechnical and economic feasibility of limestone in the Abu Shaiba region

Abstract

       Result of the great urban progress in Libya, necessity research and exploration of local Result of the great urban progress in Libya, necessity research and exploration of local mineral resources, conducting necessary studies on geoteitical characteristics, economic feasibility of mineral material for purpose investing it, to play its economic social role Depending research, practical and practical exploratory analytical approach to studying geotechnical characteristics, comparative approach to selecting the equipment used in  processes of extracting mineral materials and manufacturing marble slides, and analytical approach to study economic feasibility exploratory work began taking (10) model superficial random for limestone represented by a study area, transferred to the laboratory of the Mining Department at the Tripoli University, for purpose preparing them, conducting geotechnical tests on them, after that a results obtained compared to British standard scientific specifications (BSS) and the association American for material test (ASTM)Through study of the geotechnical characteristics of the Limestone in the Abu Shaiba region, found that it possesses geodic characteristics that place it within classification (A) according to international specifications, therefore it is suitable for use as a substitute for marble with high quality a result these, continued to research for study economic feasibility and know  Possibility investing them technically, economically, reserves limestone estimated using contour map using computer programs, the most important of which are the most important  After that, appropriate machines chosen for extraction, processes according geotechnical characteristics obtained, economic feasibility study conducted, concluded of profitable economic feasibility that enables self
