Hadi Ghodrat - Shahid Hasheminejad Gas Processing Company- Engineering Unit

Gradual leakage of diesel in shahid Hasheminejad gas processing company located in northern east part of Iran causes soil and water contamination. The investigations carried out on the studied area indicates that the contamination of soil is estimated much more than Europe and North America.Despite of the deteriorative effects of oil contamination on the environment, oil pollution changes the physical and mechanical characteristics of the soil. The investigations carried out during last two decades indicate that oil contamination causes deteriorative influences on soil properties and decreases the soil strength against probable imposed loads.In this paper, firstly the influences of soil contamination on its strength properties is studied. Then, alterations of bearing capacity of popular shallow foundations of the refinery (such as square, rectangular, strip) will be estimated. In fact, the function of existence foundation will be discussed from bearing capacity point of view
