ABSTRACT

This research work is on improvement of bearing capacity of sandy soil by grouting. The sample was collected from Isaac area, Landmark University and subjected to various tests such as Compaction test, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), permeability, natural moisture content, and sieve Analysis Test. In relation to the subject matter, view of some scholars and authors were reviewed and the data collected which are presented and analysis accordingly, Conclusion and recommendation are made at the end of this research. However, the research work is not on itself as it is recommended further studies.
