Abstract
The project will be implemented in three stages -- Phase I in Thailand, Phase II in Ghana, and Phase III in a Latin American country. Specific objectives are to: (1) develop an engineering definition and a classification system for laterite and other problem soils; (2) evaluate their engineering characteristics, determining the range of physical, chemical, and geological conditions for each classification; (3) establish standard methods of testing laterite materials for design and construction control; and (4) assist selected highway departments in constructing test roads using these materials.
