Abstract

The development of a new classification procedure for lateritic soils, which takes into account their mineralogical and physical properties and, in addition, the appropriate conceptions of the humid tropical environment, will make it possible to predict their uses in road layers with a higher percentage. The research in question evaluates the potential use of the Universal Classification Methodology of Lateritic Soils for the construction of road structures. The methodological procedure comprised a test program for the classification and evaluation of the resilient behavior of soils. Based on the resilient behavior and on the considerations on the adopted permanent deformation properties, the mechanistic-empirical analysis indicated good behavior of the analyzed soils when used in base layers in lower traffic. However, even with good conditions, the soils could need stabilization, whether granulometric with the addition of granular soil, and/or chemical with the incorporation of lime or cement, mainly in an attempt to combat shrinkage.
