Abstract : The geotechnical and geochemical characteristics of the subsoil over an area of about 90 km2 in and around Obhor are described. Five soil units and three rock units with differing characteristics have been identified in the area within a maximum depth of 15 m. These units are (1) the softgreyclay,(2) the stiff brown clay, (3) theveryloosesiltysand,(4) the very loose carbonate silty sand, (5) the medium carbonate gravelly sand, (6) the weak coralline limestone, (7) the Tertiary to Quaternary basalt and (8) the Tertiary sandstone and claystone. Based on the location of these units, the area has been divided into seven zones, three of which show the characteristics of coastal sabkha. Chemical composition suggests the units 1,4 and 5 to be derived from coralline limestone whereas the units 2 and 3 to be of continental origin. Protective measures are found to be necessary for concrete and steel due to aggressive ground condition
