    The document discusses static cone penetration tests and plate load tests, which are used to evaluate soil properties. It explains that static cone penetration tests involve slowly pushing a cone-tipped rod into the ground to determine soil strength, and plate load tests measure soil compressibility by applying a measured load to a plate embedded in the soil. The document provides images of a laterite soil sample and diagrams of static cone penetration test equipment. It also briefly discusses soil classification systems for highways.
