TROPICAL RESIDUAL SOILS*
C.C. Ladd 1.322 3/82
1.0 DEFINITIONS AND SPECIAL COMPOSITION
1.1 Tropical = ±220 N-S
Residual soil = in situ weathering of rock to produce soil.
1.2 Composition of Tropical Residual Soils in Warm-WetClimates
(1) Crystalline rock and poor drainage + smectite
(2) Crystalline rock and good drainage + Red Laterites(also called Oxisols)
· Kaolinite plus Fe/Al. oxides (reddish color)
· Low "activity" with a lot of cementation
· Considered "good" MH soil
(3) Weathering of volcanic ash/rock + Andisols
Halloysite (tubes + spheres) plus amorphous.
alumina & silica (very high SSA but low surface
charge) and maybe smectite (usually dark color)
· Generally high wN and P.I.
· Considered "poor" MH soil
2.0 CHARACTERISTICS OF RED RESIDUAL SOILS (LATERITES) WHICHOFTEN REQUIRE DIFFERENT ENGINEERING PRACTICE (Compared tosaturated sedimentary clays).
2.1 Index Testing and Correlations with Atterberg Limits(See Mitchell & Sitar, 1982, for examples).
(1) Halloysite
· Tubular structure very low dry density
· Dehydration when dried
(2) Fe & Al. oxides plus silica gel act as strong cementingagents.
· Decreases effective SSA
· Highly variable in situ
Panel discussions and Proceedings ASCE GED Spec. Conf. onEngr. and Construction in Tropical and Residual Soils,Honolulu, Hawaii, Jan. 1982 (Availab.e from ASCE).
- 2 -
(3) Drying soil generally increases amount of cementationand reduces plasticity.
(4) Amount of mechanical remolding can greatly affectmeasured Atterberg Limits (more remolding + increasedplasticity).
(5) Conclusions
· Can't use empirical correlations developed fortemperate clays
. Any correlation with index properties likely to bevery scattered
2.2 Heterogeneity
(1) Profile characterized by differential weathering andcementation. See Brand (1982) for classificationsystem for Hong Kong.
(2) Because of above, properties highly variable and
· Undisturbed sampling difficult to perform
· Conventional size samples don't reflect mass properties
(3) Conclusions
Base design on local experience and/or large in situtesting
2.3 Saturation - Rainfall
(1) Strata'ofmain interest usually occur above the watertable and are characterized by:
· Partial saturation
· Generally high in situ permeability
(2) How to define a in partially saturated soils?
· If S > 80%, a = a-uw probably reasonable (discon-
tinuous air voids)
. Otherwise, must consider two components, i.e. a =
fl(a-ua) + f2 (ua-uw)
(3) Variation in uw greatly affect slope stability
. Seasonable variations
. Effect of heavy rainfalls
