Abstract:

Estimation of compaction characteristics such as optimum moisture content and maximum dry density values are essential for civil engineering projects especially soil structures. The strength and durability of these soil structures will depend on the quality of materials used. Compaction characteristics are the controlling parameters to assess the above features. To avoid various constrains related to estimation of compaction characteristics can be effectively strengthen by using indirect methods. Correlation is the prominent method in estimating compaction characteristics. The present investigation has 112 number of red soil samples used in estimating compaction characteristics. The parameters used are grain size distribution and plasticity Index. The correlation equations obtained are explained with high R2 values show best and showed best relations between them.

Keywords:
