Abstract

This geotechnical soil investigation focusses on developing a community- based portable water supply system for Otuokpoti communities in Bayelsa State, Niger Delta region. The research found silty clay soil to 2.8m depth, high plasticity (38.6%), and moisture content (36,67%), with a recommended raft foundation and allowable bearing capacity of 80KN/M2. Chemical analysis showed near-neutral pH and low sulfate content, indicating no significant concrete aggressiveness concerns
