GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF LATERITIC SOIL ON MIGMATITE ALONG OGBOMOSHO – ILORIN HIGHWAY SOUTH-WESTERN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT The geotechnical and geochemical properties of lateritic soil developed on migmatite along Ogbomosho – Ilorin road, south-western Nigeria was studied. Soil samples were collected from seven (7) different laterite profiles along the road cuts and analyzed in the laboratory so as to determine the geotechnical, geochemical and petro-graphical characteristics of each horizon within the profile and their suitability as construction and/or foundation material. The geotechnical tests conducted according to ...
