Tropical Residual Soils Engineering

Description

Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. They are formed when rock weathering is faster than transport processes by water, gravity and wind. As an effect, much of the soils formed remain at the place of formation and many of the characteristics of the parent rock are retained. In tropical regions, residual soil layers can be very thick, sometimes extending for hundreds of meters before reaching un-weathered rock. Tropical Residual Soils Engineering forms a unique work with regard to other books on soil mechanics and soil engineering as it is entirely devoted to soils in tropical areas. Subjects treated are the origin, testing, and properties of tropical residual soils; application and stabilization of tropical residual soils; slope, slope assessment, and stabilization; development guidelines; and geoenvironmental aspects and development of a spatial database. The technical content is illustrated by a case study. Tropical Residual Soils Engineering is authored by experts that have gained extensive experience with this type of soil. This state-of-the art matter is intended for graduate students, researchers and professionals in soil & rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering working in tropical regions.
