Abstract

Loess rocks spread on the Tbilisi territory are divided into two genetic types: 1) alluvial (aQII-III) northeastern periphery formations – Nadzaladevi-Tbilisi Sea and 2) alluvial-proluvial (apQIII-IV) Loess rocks in the Tbilisi south-eastern part – Lilo-Lochini-Soghanlugh territory. The characteristics of the physical and landing properties of these genetic varieties are given. Despite the fact that the physical properties of these rocks do not differ significantly from each other, varieties of loess prevail in the north-eastern regions, which have a number of more subsidence properties than their counterparts in the south-east. The content of coarse material (1-2 mm) reaches 25% in some areas. It is therefore probable that the detection of sedimentary properties in the loess rocks by the laboratory does not contribute to the content of coarse-grained material in them, which is very noticeable for construction organizations.
