Integrated Resistivity, Index, and Strength Characteristics of Subgrade Soils: Implication for Highway Pavement Failure Studies in North-Central Nigeria by Daniel Opemipo OBASAJU, Moroof Olasunbo OLORUNTOLA, Sunday OLADELE

“…Also, twenty-one (21) subgrade soil samples close to VES stations from the unstable and stable sections of the highway were subjected to laboratory geotechnical analyses which include grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, compaction (Optimum Moisture Content, OMC, and Maximum Dry Density, MDD) and California bearing ratio (CBR) at soaked and unsoaked states following American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) standards as appropriate. The geophysical results show that low resistivity (10–100 Ohms-m) inferred as clay/silt of low competence characterizes the subgrade soils of the unstable segment. …”
