| Abstract: | Lateritic soils were collected from four existing borrow pits around Minna (Latitude 9°37’ North and Longitude 6°33’ East), and investigation aimed at classifying them on the basis of their oxide composition and index properties were made. On the basis of the oxide composition tests result, the silicon-sesquioxide ratio shows that the soils are laterite, while index properties test results obtained, indicate that Minna laterite falls between A-2-7 to A-7-6 groups on AASHTO classification and are inorganic clays of low to high plasticity on system of classification. |
