  ABSTRACT Not only do soils serves as underfoot" for roads, airfields. train tracks, and houses that sustain our complex society: Engineers, typically geotechnical engineers, classify soils recording to their engineering properties as they relate to its use as foundation support building material. The study of geotechnical characterization of soils in Ikole-Ekiti, Ekiti State was carried out to determine the index properties and strength properties of the soil. The laboratory test carried out included. Moisture content. Particle size analysis. Compaction test, Atterberg Limits tests, Californ…
