| dc.description.abstract | Soil properties are specific to a region and alter greatly from place to place based on climatic and geographic conditions. Geotechnical engineers often attempt to develop empirical methods specific to particular regions and soil types. However, empirical equations are more consistent for soil types where the correlation is developed. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop a correlation between CBR and subsoil index properties specific to different soil types. This project comprises developing the relationship between CBR values and soil index properties specific to the Guliso Cheliya Dilla Kandalama Begi road project. When finding the correlations, both simple and multiple regression analyzes were considered. Accordingly, one hundred and ten secondary data sets were collected from Best Consulting engineers, consulting firm, to attain the intended correlations. Using SPSS, the CBR correlation is constructed as a function of Atterberg limits, percentage grain size, and moisture-density relationship parameters. After evaluating developed correlation, it was found that CBR values and soil index properties are well correlated and this is advantageous for the preliminary detection of the geotechnical characteristics of the soil in the investigation area. Finally, a reliable correlation is derived from correlation work with a coefficient of determination of 0.691 using multiple linear regression analysis. | |
