Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. Like other
soils, they are used extensively in construction, being built upon
and used as construction materials. Residual soils are formed when
the processes of rock weathering proceed at a faster rate than the
transport processes by water, gravity and wind, whereby much of the
resulting soils will remain in place. The soil typically retains
many of the characteristics of the parent rock. In a tropical
region, residual soil layers can be very thick, sometimes extending
for hundred of meters before reaching unweathered rock. This book
has gathered state-of-the-art knowledge from a number of
experienced experts working in foundation engineering in tropical
residual soils. Subjects covered are: geology and formation of
residual soils, site investigations, characterization and selection
of parameters for foundation design, design of shallow and deep
foundations which include driven piles, drilled shafts and
caissons, and special topics which include design of piles in
marginally-stable river banks, micro piles, Augeo pile, pile load
and NDT, foundation failures and remedial works, and pile supported
embankment. The book also includes a country case study on
engineering geology in relation to foundation engineering in
Malaysia.
