Engineering Properties of Red Gravel Soils in North Coastal Districts of Andhra Pradesh
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
North coastal Districts of Andhra Pradesh, India has been connected with number of industrial infrastructural projects. Red gravel soils are well promising geotechnical construction material which can be widely used in civil engineering application, especially in infrastructure projects. In this region Red gravel soil are prominent resource material on which several construction activities have been running. To consider the above, 75 gravel soil samples were collected and tested for various geotechnical characteristics. Based on the test results these gravel soils are characterized and can make suitable for geotechnical applications in various civil engineering projects.
