Engineering Geological Evaluation of Lithostratigraphy of Lokoja Sandstone, North Central Nigeria

The Lokoja Sandstone was investigated for engineering properties. Three road cut samples were collected from three of its Lithologic Sections and subjected to index as well tests. Soils around sampling points A C showed higher insitu moisture, specific gravity values, liquid limits better grading, properties promising load bearing capacity. Also, maximum dry densities along than B but optimum moisture content highest implying greater fluid tolerance under field conditions. It concluded that approaches acceptable standards spoils should be considered such purposes although attention recommended paid improving soils point improve Sample test evaluation shows: MC (7.2), MDD (2.2gg/cm 3 ), PL (37.50%), LL (24%), Gs (2.5). (MC: 5.4, MDD: 1.7g/cm , PL: 25%, LL: 19%). (5.6), (1.8g/cm well-graded (1.21), (33.3%) (20%).
