| Abstract: | It has been shown in several studies that factors such as composition, texture, degree of weathering, and presence of fissures or discontinuities have a first order control on engineering properties and behavior of soils and rocks. This paper investigates geotechnical properties of soils and the underlying basement rock at the site of the proposed Southern Parkway Bridge in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria with a view to assessing their strength and suitability to carry the load of the bridge and support the road under construction |
