    1) The document contains laboratory test results for 5 soil samples collected between depths of 1-6.45m during investigation works for the construction of a commercial building. 2) The tests conducted include natural moisture content, bulk density, liquid limit, plastic limit, unconfined compressive strength, triaxial shear, specific gravity, initial void ratio and consolidation tests. 3) The soil consists of silty sand, sandy silt and weathered siltstone/shale. The ultimate bearing capacity of the soil at 2m depth is estimated to be 15.99 t/m2 according to Indian code specifications.

    The document contains results from laboratory tests performed on soil samples collected from a construction site, including triaxial shear tests, consolidation tests, and grain size distribution tests.

    Soil samples were collected from depths between 2.50-2.95m, 3.50-3.95m, 6.00-6.45m, and 10.00-10.45m and were described as silty sand, sandy silt, siltstone and shale.

    Tests performed on the soil samples included triaxial shear tests to determine shear strength parameters, consolidation tests to determine compressibility, and grain size distribution tests to analyze the composition of the soils.
