摘要：
The geological, climatic and environmental conditions have resulted in the formation of calcareous deposits along the Arabian Gulf coast. Anhydrous calcium sulphate, which commonly occurs in such soils, is notorious for gypsification and dissolution and adds to the potential hazards of indigenous sediments. This paper discusses the properties of the sediments and the compressibility of the calcareous soil formations of eastern Saudi Arabia.
