4. A Handbook of Tropical Residual Soil Engineering

   Edited by B.B.K. Huat, David Toll

   Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. In tropical areas, residual soil layers are often extensive and may continue downwards for hundreds of meters before unweathered rock is reached. Since most foundations, excavations and embankments will therefore be built on or in such soil, and...
