Abstract

Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization it is required to evaluate soil properties quickly and accurately without
disturbing soil, removing soil samples and analyzing them in laboratory. There is also an increasing demand for utilization
of sandy soils as a conducting and insulating material, which calls for extensive characterization of the sandy soil based on
physical, chemical, mechanical and mineralogical investigations. This study is an attempt has been made to understand
these mechanisms occurring in the sandy soil with the help of its electrical properties. This is being achieved, by
conducting a series of laboratory tests on remolded samples by varying their clay content and water content in
concentration of NaCl. In order to create conditions similar to field, samples were molded with different sand size particle.
