Abstract:
This paper presents the results of the in-situ tests (SPTT, crosshole, SDMT, and CPTU) and laboratory tests (characterization, compaction, MCT classification, consolidation, UU triaxial and resonant column) to investigate the properties of a lateritic soil from Santo André, metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil, for purposes of foundation of a building. Lateritic Soils are frequently found in tropical regions and present a peculiar behavior compared to temperature zone soils. It was possible to obtain the maximum shear modulus from different tests and could be verified that lateritic soil present stiffness significantly higher than that derived from empirical correlations obtained for temperate zone soils.
