Abstract

A few soil tests play an important role for soil character like -Settlement criteria analysis by consolidation test, Strength criteria by Triaxial Shear test. If bearing capacity is very low and settlement increases, the locally available soil can be stabilized and their Geotechnical property can be improved. Similarly with the help of Plastic limit, Liquid limit and shrinkage limit test, an illustration of soil properties can make. This paper focuses on limits tests and compaction tests of soil.
