What is Foundations for Swampy Soil in Lagos about?
This document summarizes a study investigating suitable foundations for multi-story buildings built on swampy soil in Lagos State, Nigeria. Soil samples were collected from 5 locations and tested to determine their properties. Tests showed the soil was largely silty clay with optimum moisture contents ranging from 9.6-12.5% and maximum dry densities of 1.82-1.91 g/cm3. Unconfined compression tests yielded strengths of 22.24-56.67 kN/m2 and bearing capacities of 90.95-106.26 kN/m2. Based on the soil properti
