Introduction
The use of soil classification is essential to all structures. Special design considerations should be based on the classification of the soil(s) that may be present at the project site. As soil classification is based on specific properties of soils, it can be expected that different soils may have (but are not limited to) different characteristics that would influence the relationship between the structure and the soil. In this regard, Index properties of soil can help in the identification as well as classification of soil. Some of the index properties of soil include water content, particle size
