Considerable research has been carried out to demonstrate the reactions, properties, design and construction of lime-treated 'temperature' soils. Unfortunately, instances with tropical soils, especially laterites, are very scantv in the literature. The paper reviews lime treatment of lateritic soils
Direct shear tests were run on samples of dry laterite sand and dry laterite gravel reinforced with different types of fibres. Both natural and synthetic fibres plus copper wires were tested. Test results showed that fibre reinforcement increases the peak strength and modifies the stressdeformation
