GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION OF A PROPOSED BORROW PIT FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL IN DUSUMAN AREA, JERE LGA, BORNO STATE
Abstract
ABSTRACT This research presents a geotechnical investigation of a proposed borrow pit at Dusuman, Jere Local Government Area of Borno State, aimed at determining the suitability of the soil for road construction. Disturbed soil samples were collected from trial pits at depths of 1.0–1.5 m and subjected to laboratory analyses including particle size distribution, Atterberg limits, compaction test, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR), in accordance with BS 1377 standards. The results showed that the soils have liquid limits ranging from 17–21%, plasticity index of 17–21%, and
