Abstract
Laterite soils occupy large parts of the tropical regions of the world. They are used, in the compacted state, as bases for roads and air-field pavements, as fills for foundations, embankments and earth dams. Although the response to load with decreasing void ratio (compressibility) is important under the conditions of use, it has not been the subject of considerable study. Engineering studies in laterite soils have been limited to classification, compaction characteristics and sometimes, shear strength.
