Characterization of Soil Properties and the Implications for Landslide Occurrence in Rubanda District. by Ainamaani, Samuel

“…And from the plasticity charts the PI and LL results reveals that the soils are clay of high plasticity and this signals chances of landslides Soil particle distribution The clay fraction for the soil were above 10% threshold identified from the analysis of the soil samples from the respective test pits as shown in the table below, this explains higher possibilities of extreme expansion potential and hence susceptible to land slides The bearing capacity of soil was determined as 250.825 kN/M3.When compared with the safe Safe/allowable bearing capacity of Soft rock 440kN/M3, the bearing capacity of soil is too low indicating high chance of collapsible soil.…”
