Abstract :

This paper shows the Estimation of Grain Characteristic using the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) at a project under the Saryu Nahar Pariyojna in the basins of Rapti River named as Rapti Main Canal in Balrampur areas. This is the leading distributary project which have a stretch of 125 km through the Balrampur, Behraich and Shravasti districts of Uttar Pradesh. This area of Rapti Main Canal having a major concern about the soil Liquefaction due its soil behavior and water logging , here mostly we found silty sandy soil in saturated state. The objective of this paper is to evaluate Soil Index Behaviour in term of Ic using Cone Penetration Test given by the P.K. Robertson and C.E. (Fear) Wride in 1998 and updated work in Robertson 2009, CPT has become very popular because of its greater repeatability and the continuous nature of its profile.
