Soil exhibits different properties in different regions. Construction of any structure completely depends upon the type of soil of a particular area. Soil properties indicate the stability of a construction structure because the load of a structure is finally transmitted to the soil. Northern Plains mostly have a soil with low moisture content while as the soil in northern hills has a soil with comparatively high moisture content because of the wet weather conditions in the hilly regions and the moderate temperature. This paper presents the results of a series of tests conducted on soil in Kashmir and Punjab region. Soil exhibited different properties and different loads were applied while determination of settlement.
