- In Nigeria, the non-availability of generalized
relevant data on materials used for road construction
particularly for initial preliminary engineering planning
and designs, has been the bane and cause of failure of
most of our highway construction projects, such that,
failure occurs almost immediately after the project is
commissioned or even before. Hence, the needs to
characterize the engineering properties of lateritic soils
in various borrow pits in Lagos state.
