AB  - Experimental investigations were carried out in the laboratory and in the field to determine and evaluate some physical and dynamic properties of clay loam soil in Akure, southwestern Nigeria. The properties include cohesion and cone index. The soil studied has sand, silt and clay fractions of 40, 23 and 37% respectively. Bulk density ranged from 1360 mg m<SUP>-3</SUP> to 1529 Mg m<SUP>-3</SUP> in the field within the range of 9.9 to 30.6% moisture content (db) and down to depth of 300 mm. The cone index of the soil ranged from 475 kPa to 2626 kPa within the same moisture range. The cohesion of the soil ranged from 20.2 kPa to 114 kPa.There was good positive correlation between the cone index cohesion relationship within the range of moisture content studied. Linear regression models were used to fit the data points and to predict.
