Note générale :	The purpose of the book is fanfold. The first is to present an up to date review of avaible information on the geotechnical characteristics and engineering behaviour of laterite soils. The second purpose is to show that, contary to an apparent belief that fall laterite soils are different from natural soils and are problem materials, a great majority of laterite soils can be evaluated for engineering purposes using the curently accepted theories and test procedures established for temperature-zone soils. The third purpose of the book is to highlight the geotechnical implications of the pedogenic processes of tropical weathering and laterization and to emphasize the conditions of the consequences of these processes to the deviations of engineering behaviour of the problem laterite soils.
