6.2 Conclussion
As per the obtained properties of soil, Sample – 3 is identified as silty clay of
high plasticity, high swell pressure & lower density in comparison of other soil.

Sample – 3 is selected for phase II of project in further study with mixing of

polyester fiber in different proportions
