Abstract:

 The central regions of Babylon Governorate, located on the Shatt Al-Hilla, suffer from problems as the collapse and erosion of its banks, increase in sedimentation in the river, which reduces the river flow efficiency and forms meanders in the river. After the reconnaissance visit to determine the meandering sites. A detailed study of the area was carried out by drilling 6. test boreholes representing three areas (Ancient-Babylon, Bata-Bridge, and Al-Khusrweya), two wells on both sides of the meander at a depth of 10m for each borehole to know soil properties, bearing capacity and consolidation, and its effect on the engineering construction. Soil samples have been taken to carry out geotechnical tests. also conducted a study of banks stability for three stations, where the cross-section was monitored by the M9 device, and the height of the banks from both sides by the LEVEL device, using the Geo-Studio-2021 program with soil properties and by using Bishop method the safety factor was extracted for the three stations for erosion-prone areas. it was 3.44 in Ancient-Babylon, Bata-Bridge was 1.7 and Al-Khusrweya was 1.6 Under natural conditions, the average river flow level reaches it in year respectively are 27.88, 27.74, 27.33 m, above sea level. Where all the stations were safe unless the water level increased or decreased. Also, the research reached a determination of the allowable bearing capacity reaches it before the landslide.
