Laterite - Wikipedia
网页Laterite is a soil type rich in iron and aluminium and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron oxide content.
Laterite | Soil Formation, Tropical Climates & Weathering
网页Laterite, soil layer that is rich in iron oxide and derived from a wide variety of rocks weathering under strongly oxidizing and leaching conditions. It forms in tropical and subtropical regions where the climate is humid. Lateritic soils may contain clay minerals; but they tend to be silica-poor,
Characterization of laterite soil and its use in construction ...
网页2022年12月1日 · Laterite soil, a naturally occurring material, is generated from the natural process of laterisation. The physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics of laterite soils are widely varied. The major elemental oxides, such as, SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and Fe 2 O 3 , are present in laterite soil and these amounts are predominantly more than 70% ...
Lateritic and Bauxitic Materials - ScienceDirect
网页2018年1月1日 · Lateritic profiles are very complex and mostly polygenetic. They have been widely studied but no generally accepted definition or classification of laterite exists. This chapter presents a review of the various micromorphological characteristics of lateritic and bauxitic materials, without following a specific genetic model.
Laterite Soil - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
网页Laterite is a reddish or yellowish soil formed at the surface or near-surface of the earth in tropical (Africa) and sub-tropical (Australia and South America) zones of the world.
Laterite - SpringerLink
网页Laterites (sensu stricto) are, primarily, residual materials formed directly by in situ rock breakdown, and should not contain any significant allochthonous component. They owe their chief compositional characteristics to the relative enrichment of iron (and often aluminum), and the other less mobile parent rock (i.e., protolith) constituents.
A state of review: challenges and techniques of laterite soil ...
网页2022年5月3日 · Given the continuous development and successful integration of cost-effective and environmental-friendly stabilising agents, laterite soil has the potential to become the preferred choice of material to meet the increasing global demand for a sustainable and efficient source of material for the construction application.
Laterite as Construction Material - Wiley Online Library
网页2017年8月30日 · Laterite has been widely used as construction material in southeast Asia throughout history. Examples of monumental buildings are the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia (twelfth century) where it was used as a core for walls, covered by limestone, the temples of Ayutthaia in Thailand (fourteenth to sixteenth century) and large colonial constructions ...
On detailed field-based observations of laterite and laterization: a ...
网页2020年6月18日 · The term ‘laterite’ and the process ‘laterization’—both have raised perpetual scientific debates. The present study reviews the relevant scientific pieces of literature associated with tropical red lateritic and ferralitic soils and tries to justify them with the observations in the Paschim Medinipur Lateritic Upland.
Understanding Laterite Soil: A Complete Overview - Earth’s Blue …
网页2024年6月6日 · Laterite soil, often referred to as “lateritic soil,” is a type of soil commonly found in tropical regions characterised by high temperatures and heavy rainfall. Its distinct properties and composition make it both valuable and challenging for agricultural and construction purposes.
