Abstract

Satluj valley, located in the Higher Himalaya, is undergoing rapid development, mainly because of its high hydropower potential. The paper reports a study to determine whether the engineering properties of the granites, gneisses, quartzites and marbles encountered in the higher Himalayan terrain in the Satluj valley can realistically be determined using the Schmidt hammer and ultrasonic velocity. The results indicate a positive correlation for the granites, quartzites and marbles, but not for the folded, anisotropic gneisses.
