Abstract: Sweeping Soil improves by better root development, water development, and furthermore by blending bits of the dirt profile, to give progressively uniform surface. As a ground improvement method to improve the quality of dangerous soils and this examination is done to comprehend the settlement conduct of layered soils. The dirt which is gathered was seen as risky in nature, which is all the more expanding in nature. The examples of soil are gathered from in and around Chennai. The sand utilized in this investigation is taken from close by site and is utilized to improve the hazardous soil by shaping a layer of required thickness. The primer tests are directed on the dirt examples to decide their properties according to IS models. After the fundamental test, the plate load tests are performed on the dirt with square plate (10 mm x 10mm) so as to know the bearing limit of soil. The heap tests are performed on sand and mud layers with fluctuating thickness of 5cm, 10 cm and 15 cm of sand over mud soil. From the plate load test the heap settlement conduct of soil layers are examined. It very well may be reason that on the off chance that various layers of sands are given over Problematic soil, at that point It gets enough Load bearing obstruction which can be further gets actualized during Highways developments. The outcomes says that of 15 cm layer of sand shows most extreme burden bearing limit and indicated better burden – settlement diagrams also.
