Abstract
Soil is the most important yet neglected factor in the construction projects. All structures, houses, highways, bridges, dams and even life itself is dependent on soil. Many consumers see soil analysis as a fund loss despite being the cheapest in the construction process, the cost of soil testing is hardly up to one percent of the construction cost. Some contractors also ignore the importance of proper soil research and analysis and base their design on assumed bearing capacity and settlement rate. The present paper is based on mapping all the soil index properties. In this work bore logs are collected from different agencies. The necessary data is extracted from bore logs and mapping of index properties is carried out. These maps will help the engineers and contractors to get a general idea of the soil strata and help them to design the foundations and carry out other construction works.
