how to find soil strength,and type of soil testing?

Answer Posted / siva subbiah

It can be tested by standard penetration test, proctor compaction test, and other tests as
per IS 2720. For physical tests, take soil in hand , rub it for 2 to 3 times then pour it loosely from the hand. If you some soils are sticky in your hand, it is good. it has good bonding nature.
