Kemudahan untuk mendapatkan tanah laterit di kawasan tropika dan sub-tropika membolehkannya digunakan sebagai bahan untuk jalanraya. Faktor-faktor alam sekeliling yang bertindak ke atas bahan asal menyebabkan terjadinya tanah laterit. Sifat-sifat fizikal tanah laterit yang terdiri daripada sifat perlekatan, pertaburan, had-had Atterberg dan sifat pemikulan beban menjadikannya bahan yang sesuai untuk tapak-tapak jalan. Bagi mengurangkan kesusutan,kawalan kepada lembapan dan beban tujah adalah mustahak. The availability of laterite in tropical and semi-tropical regions provides an alternative material for low-cost roads. Environmental factors acting on parent materials cause the formation of laterite.The physical properties of laterite ranging from its nature of cementation, grading, A tterberg limits and load bearing characteristics have made the material suitable for road bases. To reduce its degradation, moisture and impact load control are necessary.Downloads
