Abstract : - In Nigeria, the non-availability of generalized relevant data on materials used for road construction particularly for initial preliminary engineering planning and designs, has been the bane and cause of failure of most of our highway construction projects, such that, failure occurs almost immediately after the project is commissioned or even before. Hence, the needs to characterize the engineering properties of lateritic soils in various borrow pits in Lagos state.

Keywords : Concrete and gravel.
