Book excerpt: Laterite Soil Engineering is one of a few books about solving engineering problems with the help of engineering pedology. This book presents the latest information on the laterite soils’ geotechnical characteristics and engineering behavior. It shows that laterite soils are different from natural soils and that most laterite soils can be evaluated for engineering purposes using accepted theories and well-known test procedures for temperate-zone soils. This book also shows that modern concepts based on pedological considerations are very useful and take a logical approach to the identification and evaluation of laterite soils for engineering purposes. The first four chapters focus on reviewing information about the processes of tropical weathering and laterization. Chapter five summarizes information about the location, morphology and composition of laterite soils. Chapter six highlights the geotechnical implications of the pedogenic processes of tropical weathering, and it emphasizes the contribution of the results of these pedogenic processes to the deviations of engineering behavior of the problem of laterite soils. In addition, chapter seven discusses the influence of laterite soil genesis on the physic-chemical characteristics based on comparing the properties of three genetic soil groups formed under three different weathering conditions. Chapters eight through nineteen discuss the geotechnical characteristics and evaluation of laterite soils, and the effects of pedogenesis and soil-forming factors on the geotechnical and stabilization characteristics of laterite soils. The last chapter discusses the little information that exists on the application of laterite soils in engineering problems.

Book excerpt: To facilitate engineering studies of tropical soils, and particularly their airphoto interpretation, a classification system is proposed which covers major groups of soils peculiar to the tropics, soils common in both tropical and subtropical regions, and soils common in all climates. The origin and formation of tropical soils and their relation to climate, parent material, topography, and age are reviewed. The physical and chemical characteristics, and engineering problems of each of the major soil groups are examined. A method of airphoto interpretation by direct recognition of soil features, and by inference gained from observation of soil-forming factors and circumstances is presented. Air and ground photographs from Central and South America, tropical Africa, Southeast and South Asia, and Australia are included to illustrate a cross section of the major soil groups in the tropics. Recommendations are made for further study toward refining the airphoto interpretation of the major groups and subgroups of tropical soils, in addition to the supplementary use of other remote sensing devices.
