The engineering index property of soil deposit of Irele town was investigated due to its economic and engineering significance. Samples were collected at five different locations at Irele town and were tested and analyzed in the laboratory to determine their physical and engineering properties. These samples were subjected to moisture content test, particle gravity, direct shear test, and density test. Particle density of the samples collected at those locations and depth shows relative in the results and falling within 2.69 and 2.40 while only soil from 0.5m of location five has less particle density compare to the rest with 1.95. The moisture content of the surface ranges from 15.6% to 22.9% and the location three having the moisture content (Mc), at the depth of 0.5 within 13.8% -7.94% while 15.1% from location two are the highest at the level of 1.2m while permeability test shows that the samples is not permeable. The result of the direct shear test shows that the samples are collected in the same spot and the area fall with 82kg/m-50 and angle of shearing resistance 18-11 respectively. Plotting the shear stress shows on the graphs.
