| 要約: | Residual soils are produced from weathering of rocks and commonly found in tropical humid areas. The geotechnical properties of residual soils are a function of the parent rock, the degree of weathering, and climate which vary from region to region. A thorough quantification of the geotechnical characteristics of residual soils is required for a safe and economic structure design. This study attempts to summarize a series of important geotechnical properties of a Malaysian granitic residual soil grade V which determine the suitability and ability of the soil for construction including particles size distribution, specific gravity, plastic index, soil water characteristic curve, and shear strength. The findings were compared with geotechnical properties of other residual soils which were reported previously. The results showed weathering grade and the percentage of fine particles are the two important factors in controlling the geotechnical properties of residual soils. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
