Some geotechnical properties of two laterite soils compacted at different energies
Abstract Two laterite soils, a granite gneiss derived and an amphibolite derived, are compacted at three different energies and subjected to consolidation and permeability tests. Results obtained together with existing literature show that the granite gneiss derived laterite soil is suitable for use as fills for embankments and earth dams construction when compacted at the energy of the Standard Proctor (0.60 MNm/m3). The amphibolite derived laterite soil will however require at least the energy of the West African Compaction (1.07 MNm/m3) to be suitable for similar purposes in view of its relatively low maximum dry densities and high compressibilities.
