DEDICATION
The researchers would like to dedicate this thesis paper to our family for their unending
support to us throughout the end of this study. For supporting our expenses without any
hesitations and to continue inspiring us because without their support we will not be able to
conduct and accomplished this study. For the uplifting motivations It’s them who gave us
Most of all, the researchers dedicated this study to the ever heavenly loving God for
his love and support in conducting this study. He never fail to give strength when the
researchers is on the point of being down and pessimistic to finish the study. For his good will
that was shared to them and most especially for the wisdom he blessed on them when they
needed it the most they won’t be able to come up with this study.

ABSTRACT
Clay is a fine-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals
with traces of metal oxides and organic matter. Clay has the smallest particle size of any soil
type (less than 0.002 mm). This research centers on the issue on determining the
comprehensive strength of the clay soil collected at Talakag, Claveria, Bulua and Manolo
Fortich in Misamis Oriental. It points out the capacity of the clay soil which will be determine
after getting its strength through testing each clay soil in different areas. Based on the results
collected at Talakag, Claveia, Bulua and Manolo Fortich the following sample was examined
and given results was computed in its computed strength in mm2 and in psi. The clay soil in
Talakag has the highest percent of soil strengths over all computation measured mean of 8.32
mm2 and mean of 1206 psi and followed by the clay soil at Manolo Fortich which has the
mean of 5.92 mm2 and 858 psi. Followed by the clay soil at Claveria which has the mean of
5.58 mm2 and 812 psi. The least strength of clay soil is at Bulua which has the mean of
1.32mm2 and 190 psi. Basically, Talakag soil has the highest percent of soil strength. The soil
components is very stiff and it isn’t easily be fragmented or crushed. The researchers
recommended that the most prescribe clay soil should be use is one like that can be seen at
Talakag and thus these soil are most reliable to use in constructing cements which is useful to
