According to Mehr news agency, citing the country’s geological and mineral exploration organization, Dr. Masoud Mahmoodpour stated that currently various information and data on the engineering features of the country’s rocks have been prepared and adjusted, and stated: The sources and information necessary for this are from field observations. In the form of preparation of engineering geological maps with scales of 15000 and 125000 and specialized information obtained in the reports and articles of risk assessment in the country, all of which have been prepared and produced by the experts of this group and the centers of the organization or are currently being prepared.
Emphasizing that the geomechanical properties of rocks are one of the most challenging issues in the implementation of civil projects, he added: “Certainly, it will not be possible to implement all the features of rock engineering in this map, and efforts have been made to identify the most important components of rock engineering that have a direct impact on how Their engineering behavior will be reflected in this map.
The head of Geology, Engineering and Geotechnics Department of the Geological and Mineral Exploration Organization of the country noted: The main approach in preparing this map is to reflect information about the mass of rocks, which is effective in construction projects such as the construction of tunnels, dams, and the development of roads and roads in the country.
Mahmoudpour added: It is hoped that all the desired data will be used in completing the national geomechanics map of the country’s rock mass after the process of extraction from the mentioned sources and the completion of the verification and verification stage, and after the stages of map production and approval in the Publications Council of the Geological Organization And the mineral discoveries of the country should be available to experts, scholars and geotechnical engineers of the country for exploitation.
