    INTRODUCTION : Construction of roads in black cotton soil areas has been problematic due to their low bearing capacity and the detrimental effects of volume instability arising from swelling and shrinkage characteristics of such soils during wet and dry seasons. Such problems assume greater acuteness where the water table is high and clayey subsoil stratum is thick. A Perfect example of a case history study can be considered from “Gudivada-Bantumilli” State Highway, which passes through a plain

    STEEL IN THE AIR Let’s get started, the project chosen will be the construction of a monopole telecommunication cell tower reaching 150 feet tall. A geotechnical engineer will determine the exact location of the tower after soil samples are taken to determine the location of the caisson and slab foundation of the tower. Following the location determination and the staking of the tower, a shaft will need to be drilled in the ground for the caisson that will later have a steel plate
