Volcanoes as a Sustainable Resource for Engineering Applications: A case study from Harrat Ash Shaam Basalt (HASB), NE Jordan.

Abstract: Volcanic rocks have long been utilized in engineering applications due to their unique physical and mechanical properties. However, the sustainability of these practices remains an area of concern. This paper examines the importance of volcanoes as a sustainable resource for engineering applications, focusing on a case study of NE Jordan at Harrat Ash Shaam Basalt (HASB). The study evaluates the geotechnical properties of basalt rocks and pyroclastic materials of volcanoes and their potential applications in c… Show more

“…The argument can be made that Lebanon's basalt is part of the major trend of volcanic eruption in the Harrat Ashaam Basalt, which spans over 45,000 km 2 as a lava plateau, stretching about 1000 km in a NW-SE direction, distributed in Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia (Tarawneh et al, 2000(Tarawneh et al, , 2002(Tarawneh et al, , 2022(Tarawneh et al, , 2023Tarawneh, 2020;Ilani et al, 2001;Ibrahim et al, 2003). It is presumed that the volcanism of Harrat Ash Shaam Basalt, including Lebanon's territories, underwent three main episodes of volcanic activity: Oligocene to Early Miocene (26 to 22 Ma), Middle to Late Miocene (12 to 8 Ma), and Late Miocene to Quaternary (6 to less than 0.5 Ma) (Tarawneh et al, 2000).…”

This volcanic province is one of the largest volcanic plateaus in the Middle East and serves as a crucial source for sustainable basalt rocks, pyroclastic materials, as well as industrial minerals like zeolites and semi-precious stones (Tarawneh et al, 2023).…”
