To achieve the aim the following objectives were adopted to collect samples from the barrow pit to perform a test with zero percent additive of sanbase (SB) to serve as a control to perform another test with percentage addition of sanbase (SB) of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% respectively the laboratory tests to be carried out to include the natural moisture content, CBR test, compaction test and atterberg limit test, specific gravity and sieve analysis to analyse the performance of sanbase as an additive on week subbase material to present the result of our findings at the end of the research. The samples were subjected to the following laboratory test including natural moisture content, specific gravity, atterberg limit, compaction and California bearing ratio (CBR). The soil samples were subjected to the following laboratory test the natural moisture content of laterite was 3.45%, the specific gravity was 2.69% and the liquid limit with the lowest value was at 0% is 12% and the highest liquid limit at 0.8% is 19%. And compaction has optimum moisture content (OMC) which the lowest value at 0.2% is 6% and the highest value at 0% is 9.6% and the maximum dry density (MDD) with a lower value at 0.6% is 1.8g/cm3 and the highest value at 0.2% is 1.98g/cm3, while CBR test result which the lowest value at 0% is 15.60% and the highest value is at 0.4% is 26.26% respectively. Based on the short review of this study treatment of soil with sanbase additives there was an increase in the CBR value of the weak soil to become suitable for construction....Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
