Geotechnical Properties of Lateritic Rocks in North Goa
Laterite rock is rich in iron and aluminium and is thought to have formed in tropical warm and humid regions like Goa. Generally, all laterites are of rusty-red colouration due to high content of iron oxide. Owing to difficulties in construction of foundations on the lateritic strata, geotechnical investigations of such areas has drawn considerable attention. In the present study, samples of laterite rock were obtained from boreholes at Dona Paula and Porvorim Goa sites. All these sites are closer to the coastal belt in North Goa. Various tests were conducted on these rock samples to study the geotechnical properties of the lateritic rocks in Goa and also the geology of laterites in Goa. These tests include, UCS, unit weight, water absorption test, etc. were also studied. Correlation is obtained about variation of UCS with L/D ratio for the sites under consideration.
