TL;DR: A brief review of the geology of the Iullemmeden Basin of northwestern Nigeria and how the stratigraphic sequence produces complex geotechnical problems is given in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, Geotechnical tests and chemical analyses were carried out on a large number of samples of dune sand collected from four different sites in the Sahara desert and it was concluded that greater use can be made of local materials and that cement-stabilized sand should prove an adequate base for highways.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of per cent decomposed product of the crest, scarp and toe portions of the slip denote positive correlations with porosity and compressibility; and negative correlations against density, wave velocity, Young's modulus, compressive strength and tensile strength.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of impregnation and casting the pore space in chalk is described together with some preliminary observations of chalk pore geometry, and the results of the casting are used for a more detailed understanding of the nature of hydrocarbon-of water-bearing rock.
