| This study was performed to assess termite mound inherent property as additive forimprovement of soil strength in Nigeria. The mound on the Rhodic Acrisol was sampled fromtop at 0 - 60 cm, 60 - 120 cm and 120 - 180 cm intervals through a vertical section. For theRhodic Acrisol, three samples were sampled from depth at 0 – 60 cm, 60 – 120 cm and 120 –180 cm intervals through a vertical section.Termite mound sample was mixed with the two soil samples separately, that is, termite mound and clayey soil in one part and termite moundand laterite soil in another part. Twenty trials experiment were conducted on the soils duringcompact test for soil mix ranging from 0 to 100 % at interval of 5 %. The optimum moisturecontent obtained from the compaction test was... |
