Análise da literatura acerca das características geotécnicas de latossolos e argissolos para a construção civil.

Abstract

This article presents a detailed study of the geotechnical characteristics of Oxiosols and Argisols, two types of soils widely found in various Brazilian regions. The main objective was to analyze the literature that investigates these soils and the SPT and CPT methods. Latosols and Argisols are highly weathered tropical soils that play a fundamental role in agriculture and civil engineering. Understanding their geotechnical properties is crucial for the planning and execution of structors. The SPT is a standard penetration test that measures the soil's resistance along a specific depth. It provides information about compaction, relative density, shear strength, and soil-bearing capacity. On the other hand, the CPT utilizes a cone penetrometer to measure soil resistance, consistency, permeability, and behavior during penetration. This study was conducted to analyze and compare the viewpoints of 15 authors on these topics and their relevance to the geotechnical field. The literature review focused on understanding the geotechnical properties of Latosols and Argisols and the application of SPT and CPT methods to the civil construction area and the impact about the foundations construction. Keywords: Oxisols. Argisols. SPT. CPT. Soil’s Investigation.
