Abstract

Sabkha is composed of sand deposits mixed with silt and clay intercalated with evaporites. Two types of sabkha are present in Saudi Arabia: the inland sabka, which is found in the northern part of the country and coastal sabkha, which is located along the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf. The main geotechnical hazards include settlement, corrosive action, heave due to salt crystallization/recrystallization and flooding due to the low infiltration rates. This comparative study indicates the engineering properties of the coastal sabkha along the Red Sea differ from those of the sabkha along the Arabian Gulf, which is likely to be more costly to develop.
