In this project research, so many tests were carried out in the laboratory. The purpose of this seminar work is to compare the soil bearing capacity in different locations such as: Umuwa Urualla in Orlu zone, Mbaise, and Okpala in Owerri zone. A 1.8m deep boring was made using a post whole anger, disturbed soil samples were collected. Laboratory classification was carried out on representative samples to improve their field identification system for engineering purpose. The test conducted include: Natural moisture content, Unit weight of Soil test, and Shear Strength test (Shear Box). The result obtained for the bearing capacity of the selected soil samples is as follows: (Umuwa Urualla 247.03, Mbaise 270.88, Okpala 298.47 (kN/m2)) after using the safety factor of 3....Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
