The document summarizes a study characterizing the engineering properties of residual soils from two major geological formations in Singapore as influenced by weathering. Index tests, engineering tests, pore structure analysis and microscopy were used to examine how properties varied with depth and degree of weathering. Results showed that properties like pore volume, pore-size distribution and mineral composition changed systematically from less to more weathered zones, related to increasing weathering depth. Variations in pore features with depth provided insight into changes in weathering degree through soil profiles.
