Abstract :

Karkheh earth Dam is located in 25 Km of south of Andimeshk. Because of huge volumeof used aggregate in spillway concrete, its investigation is necessary, in thisinvestigation, the Geology, Geomorphology, Lithostratigraphy and structural geologyhas been considered. Also grain size distribution and classification of age, and theirphysical and chemical properties and Los angles test are recognized. Regarding to XRFanalysis results. The percentage of quartz and calcite are considerable which their alkalireaction studies are important.
