ENGINEER SOIL MECHANICS TESTS,

Abstract

An engineering soils investigation of the area in which test structures were located was conducted to determine the physical characteristics and properties of the foundation soil. A soil-boring program was undertaken for the purpose of securing samples for laboratory examination and analysis. Mechanical analysis or grain-size distribution, specific-gravity determinations, direct shear and triaxial compression tests and moisture-density relationships were made on the resulting disturbed and remolded samples.
