N2 - The Qomroud Long Tunnel (QLT) project will convey water from the adjacent Dez Highlands to a central Iran watershed known as Qomroud to address water needs in central Iran. Laboratory tests on core samples were carried out to delineate the physical and geomechanical properties of the intact rock along the tunnel axis. Physical and geomechanical properties such as dry density, saturated density, porosity, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), shear and compressional wave propagation velocity (VS, VP), and water absorption ratio were determined for each rock unit, based on ASTM standards and ISRM suggested methods. Results from these laboratory tests are presented and discussed in this article.
