Characterisation of Geotechnical Properties of Residual Tropical Soils Used for Road Infrastructure: French Guiana Experience

This paper presents the first laboratory study of four materials (three lateritic soils and one sandy soil) mainly used in road construction in French Guiana. The analysis of macroscopic behaviour by physical tests, following French standards, made it possible to classify and group the samples with...
