We have examined the correlation among soils after physical, compaction, and CBR tests of them. For the tests we used SM, CL,and ML soils from 9 domestic construction sites. The results are :
(1) The relation of liquid limit and plastic limit to maximum dry density While, in sandy soil, maximum dry density is in proportion to the increase of liquid limit and plastic limit, is shows no such tendency in cohesive soil.
(2) In all the soils, the lower the optimum moisture content gets, the higher maximum dry density is. The soil with larger particles shows a linear realtion between the two.
(3) As maximum dry density increases, the CBR value also increases. For fine grained soil we see the greater change.
(4) Optimum moisture content is inverse porpotion to the CBR value. For grained soil, there is a smaller caange.
