Material Testing Reports and Soil Selection for Embankment Construction
According to above soil testing results, This soil cam be recommended for top and bottom
embankment construction and lower sub-base construction but not suitable for upper sub-base
construction.
Suitable stabilizing method can be used to reduce PI in order to recommend this material for upper
sub-base construction.
