Etude géologique et géotechnique des vestiges du site antique de Mons ( Henchir El Ksar ) , Nord de Sétif

Abstract

The ancient site Mons (Henchir El Ksar) is a Roman archaeological site in Algeria exactly in Béni Fouda. Which is not yet classified as a world heritage site. In this brief, we have, on the one hand, studied the geological and geotechnical characteristics of the materials of construction used and the different techniques used in Mons city, their properties and the quarries from which the materials were brought. These materials are: hard limestone, schist limestone.On the other hand, we have seen the various accidents which affect the monuments of the site, as well as the degradation factors such as: the actions of nature and alterations .., of man, time and sometimes mechanical. Finally, from the OFTWARE (Arc Gis) we have designed a graphic and cartographic database of different outcrops on the geological maps, which allowed us to produce and superimpose the different layers from digital terrain models. and perform a multicriteria analysis for the study of susceptibility accompanied with remote sensing to locate geological outcrops and map them with precision of 10 m
