The geotechnical classification of soils by laboratory tests is usually used to determine the class of the soil under study for its subsequent use in construction projects. The interest is certainly well displayed. Indeed, an experimental program has been developed with the aim of studying the soil in the study area. To this end, oedometric and shear tests were carried out on several soil samples in the laboratory. This made it possible to understand the “stress-strain” behavior of these soils. As a result, the presence of a silty sand soil was found that is susceptible to collapse.
