Abstract
Yangon area, because of its social-economic political significance, has undergone very rapid development and expansion. In such study the combined use of geological information and soil study, natural hazards and urbanization study have beneficial effect on development of urban areas. The study areas are covered by Irrawaddian rocks, residual soils, and transported soils. Quaternary sediments of older and younger alluvium deposits are widely distributed thoroughly the Yangon area. These soils are classified into CL, CH, OH, ML and MH according to the Unified Soil Classification System. To evaluate the physical characteristics of the soil, moisture content, wet and dry density, atterberg limit test, grain size distribution, triaxial compression test, unconfined compression strength test and standard penetration compression test were performed and the result thoroughly elaborated. For the foundation analysis, the shallow foundation depth is considered at 8 ft foundation. Total numbers of the selected boreholes are 21 boreholes from 8 townships in Yangon City. Tezarghi, Meyerhof, Hansesn, and Vesic bearing capacity equation are used for shallow foundation
