Abstract

Determination of coefficient of consolidation and Direct shear tests have been performed on unsaturated
disturbed and undisturbed specimens of a compacted area. Consolidation test has been performed as per IS:2720-
15 (1965). A conventional direct shear apparatus was modified in order to use the axis-translation technique for
direct shear tests on unsaturated soils. The testing procedure and some typical results are presented. Possibilities of
potential use of soil for the construction of residential buildings, complexes have been identified for the development
of area. An art of review of the improvement and development in soil engineering has been presented in simple and
broad manner. Suggestions are made as to how best to handle the soil from a practical engineering standpoint. The
coefficient of consolidation, shear parameters and some soil properties have been computed to better understand the
soil. The probable mode of failure of soil has been determined.
