Abstract The Californian Bearing Ratio (CBR) is one of the most important geotechnical
parameter used for designing pavement layers in road construction. However, the test for …

For sustainable development of Etioro Akoko, Southwestern Nigeria, soil materials must
meet and exceed the requirements of a good tropical environment soil. This study is aimed …

The utilization of an agricultural waste product known as palm kernel shells (PKS) combined
with fine laterites (from basalt in Bangangté, West Cameroon) to produce low-cost and …

The present paper treats the relationship between geotechnical parameters and the
mineralogical compositions, in order to understand the behavior of the Bafang lateritic fine …

The increasing demands on lateritic gravels in road construction presently make it
necessary to quantify the available resources that can be used in road construction. This …

The study focuses on the sustainability of lateritic soils from Garoua in Compressed
Stabilized Earth Blocks production. The collected samples were subjected to particle-size …

The aim of this study is to carry out a petrological and geotechnical study of the lateritic soils
of Ngaoundal (Adamawa-Cameroon). Hence, geotechnical identification, X-ray …

The gravelly lateritic soils are commonly used for road sub-grade and sub-base course in
tropical region due to their good bearing capacity. Whereas, the lack of their ore deposit …

Searching for borrow pits often used during civil engineering constructions is an important
step that requires a lot of time and money. The nature of the parent rock, climate …

The study shows that the effective and timely construction of roads in the intertropical zone is
hindered by the lack of geospatial data on the distribution of lateritic gravels (LG). This study …
