RESUMO

This work presents the results of a laboratory study on the effects of infiltration of a caustic liqueur on the stress- strain- strength behavior of a sandy lateritic soil. The experimental program consisted of general characterization,chemicals tests, X-ray diffraction analysis, electron microscopy and triaxial tests using the caustic liqueur at different concentrations.Mechanic and hydraulic properties were obtained performing triaxial CID tests with different caustic concentrations. Physical- chemical interactions were evaluated through of determination of pH, cation exchange capacity and sulfuric attack tests. The results obtained showed that soil suffers large volume changes under percolation of the liqueur, with these changes being a function of the caustic concentration, on the other hand, the shear strength parameters are little affected by the liqueur.
