Resumo

This paper approaches the geotechnical aspects of unsaturated and collapsible soils that affect foundations structures and earthworks, causing pathologies in various constructions in Brazil. Thus, to analyze the soil properties were used samples collected from the Experimental Site of Soil Mechanics and Foundations of Unicamp. The tests were performed in the laboratory of soils mechanics at Faculty of Civil Engineering, where the tests of characterization, direct shear, collapse potential, and MCT classification were carried out. The results of the research show that the analyzed soil is potentially collapsible and has a laterite clayey soil behavior.
