This document contains test results from soil samples collected for a highway construction project in Bihar, India. It includes results from a free swell index test, grain size analysis, and determination of Atterberg limits. The free swell index was 10%, indicating the soil is suitable for embankment, subgrade, and shoulder construction. The grain size analysis found 2% gravel, 43.8% sand, and 54.2% silt and clay. The liquid limit was determined to be 30% and the plastic limit 18.83%.
