Σύνοψη

The main objectives of this diploma project are to give a general information about the Geological Formations of the island of Cyprus, the Geotechnical Behavior of the strata and their Engineering Problems.
As far as the Geological Formations is concerned reference is made to the most typical and at the same time important formations in the island, the three main types of rocks forming these formations, their characteristics and the way these rocks are distinguished.
More emphasis is given in the Geotechnical Behavior of the strata and the Engineering Problems that Civil Engineers are often asked to deal with, while some solutions to these problems are recommended.
An important aspect of the above is the seismic activity of the island and the mineral wealth that includes among others the materials which are used in The construction industry.
