Study of the Index Properties

Nd shows the entire region is spread by a thick blanket of clayey soil comprising of red and black soil, having high porosity with less permeability believed to be the end product of laterites materials, generating a swampy land throughout the year. But fortunately at a shallow to deep the stratum is defined by a compact, hard and impervious lateritic bed that gives ample support for a safe and stable foundation. Due to this, selection of foundation for construction purpose has become a challenging job. Two nos. of bore hole logs were drilled and collected from the field area to determine the index properties of the given samples as well as finding the safe bearing capacity of the soil
