Different types of clayey soil available in sabarkantha region which have multiple behavior for soil structure. Understanding the behavior of clay is not easy, as slight variations in the existing conditions. The strength behavior of clayey soil can be interpreted from its relative compaction and mean confining pressure. In this clayey soil, high percent of (silt+clay) and less percent of sand content available, which pose major problem to soil structure. From this work, we can evaluate the effect of relative compaction on Shear strength parameters c and Ø of clayey soil. In this whole, experimental work carried out for sand+ 20%(silt+clay), sand+ 30%(silt+clay)and sand+ 40%(silt+clay).Unconsolidated un-drained triaxial test performed for 34.43kPa, 68.97kPa and 103.40kPa. 85%, 90%, 95 and 100% relative compaction considered
