CHARACTERISATION OF SOIL AT SITE BUDHAGAR, JABALPUR (M.P.)
Keywords:
LateriteSoil, Bearing capacity, Problematic soils and its Ground improvement techniques.Abstract
In order to assist likely impact on environment due to mining activities, this research paper describes the system of classifying the soil for the areas of mineral ores. Mineral soil based on laboratory determination of particle size characteristics, liquid limit, and plasticity index and shall be used for particle size classification required for the laterite soil. The crystalline rocks are present in layer within the alluvial plain. These are belongs to Mahakoshal group of rock lower to middle Proterozoic. The mining area at Budhagar (district Jabalpur) belongs to laterite soil. These soils are essentially a mixture of aluminium and iron. These soils are deficient in potash, phosphoric acid and lime. The pH value of soil is low which is responsible for changing the bearing capacity of soil from the actual value; which is a matter of design consideration for knowing the soil-structure interaction.References
