Abstract in English
In this research, site investigations and tests were performed in
Khneifees phosphate mine. Samples of the studied rocks were
brought to the laboratory and tests were performed. The types of
these rocks are clayey limestone, organic limestone, white and gray
trepolite, opoka, chert and phosphate.The tests were performed
according to "American Standards for Testing of Materials"
(ASTM), and the recommendations of "International Society for
Rock Mechanics" (ISRM).
