The efforts of this study aim at improving the CBR characteristics of fine-grained
soil by the addition of sand. The fine-grained soil has been taken from Bemina
area, Srinagar and by the investigations on the characteristic properties of the
soil it has been found that it was silt-dominated soil. The study of the effect of
sand on the soil so obtained indicates that the value of CBR becomes maximum
at an optimum percentage of sand so added.
The sand had been chosen considering its viability as a cheap material and free
availability in the locality.
