    This document summarizes soil analysis tests conducted on a soil sample. Specific gravity, moisture content, and sieve analysis tests were performed. The soil was found to be a coarse-grained, red colored sand with a specific gravity of 2.87 and water content of 7.15%. Sieve analysis showed the soil was poorly graded sand, as over 50% was retained on the 75 micron sieve. In conclusion, the soil was identified as sand based on the test results, and sand typically has a low bearing capacity unsuitable for supporting multi-story structures.

    INTRODUCTION
     It is important to check the quality of soil before you build your dream home. The ground
    where you are planning to make your dream home it is important to check the soil quality of it
    before your construction work begins.
     Soil testing is primarily done to test the bearing capacity. The chemical and physical
    composition of the soil is checked during this process. The soil must have the ability to
    withstand the weight of the building. Quality of soil not only determines the bearing capacity
    but it ensures to determine the structure stabilization. Quality of Soil depends upon various
    factors such as weather, climate change and for the past years the land was deployed for what
    purpose and what was there previously.

    Result : Since > 50% is retained on the 75 micron sieve it is classified as coarse grained
    INDEX PROPERTIES
     Soil colour =red colour
     Grain shape=rounded
     Specific gravity=2.87
     Water content=7.15
     More than 50% is retained on 75micron sieve so , soil is classified as coarse garined
     More than 50% is passed through 4.75mm sieve s0, the soil is classified as SAND
     D10=0.42 D30=0.88 D60=2.6
     Results: Co-efficient of uniformity(Cu)=6.2
     Co-efficient of curvature(Cc)=4.79 Cu is greater than 6 so it is well
     graded sand and Cc is not in between 1and 3 so it is not well graded

    finally it is not well graded sand


    CONCLUSION
     The given soil is identified as sand by performing specific gravity, moisture content

    and sieve analysis test


     Sand typically has a low bearing capacity compared to cohesive soils like clay or silt
     This means it may not adequately support the weight of the building,especially for multi story
    structures
