The weather is one of the factors that in uence the behavior of the soil and has great importance in the weathering process. In view of this, we studied a soil in a humid tropical weather, in order to establish its state of weathering and the eect that such weathering has on the mechanical properties of the soil; which were performed for various characterizations of the material by specic laboratory tests for tropical soils, that led to discover a young lateritic soil with low amount of sesquioxides and few aggregations, that confer a negligible internal erodibility and low capacity of disaggregation.
