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 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 life span of pavements in coastal areas is diminutive due to high traffic levels. In this
study, soils from different localities (Dibamba, Bekoko and Lendi) in the Douala coastal area …

One of the most important materials in the building industry is earth brick. The current work
focuses on the evaluation of Maroua soils and their potential usage in the manufacturing of …

The environmental impact of the exploitation of geomaterials and their relatively high cost,
coupled with the increasingly low financial capital in developing countries, are pushing road …

Lateritic soils are found over large areas in tropical countries where their suitability for road
engineering is a real concern, both compositionally and mechanically. Mineralogical and …

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 …

A combined petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical characterization of the lateritic
hardpan deposits of Bamendjou was carried out. The purpose was to better understand the …
