Some properties of A sedimentary laterite soil as engineering construction material
Abstract A sedimentary laterite soil is examined for its suitability as a construction material by the consideration of its mineralogy and basic geotechnical properties as well as its consolidation and permeability in the compacted state. Three compaction energy levels are utilised. Mineralogically, the soil contains virtually nothing undesirable while its basic geotechnical properties are those generally ascribed to non-problematic soils. The compressibility of the soil varies from moderate to low depending on the energy of compaction. It is however impervious for all the compaction energy levels. The sedimentary laterite soil constitute a good engineering construction material as it has already been successfully used as base and sub-base material in road construction. Results obtained in this study show that this laterite soil is also suitable for use as fill materials in embankment and dam construction.
