In tropical areas, residual soil layers are often extensive and may continue downwards for hundreds of meters before unweathered rock is reached. Since most foundations, excavations, and embankments are built on such soils, and as residual soils are often used as construction materials, it is vital that the properties and peculiarities of tropical residual soils are well understood. This handbook is a complete reference for engineers working in soil and foundation engineering in tropical areas. Many aspects of tropical residual soils are discussed, including a range of engineering applications. Region- and country-specific sections are included, which examine typical characteristics and soil conditions.
