 Codes for Soil Investigation  Part -I

We have to adopt the IS Codes for Constructions in India. Every Engineer should be well informed about IS Codes for successful practice and Contracts. In this Blog, Let's see the IS Codes for Soil Testing.

IS 2720 is the Code for Method of test for Soils. It had 41 parts. Click on  download .
