The soil profiles were identified using terrain evaluation techniques and simple laboratory tests. Geophysical surveys were undertaken as they are quick and relatively cheap. The results were correlated with trial pit descriptions and cone and standard penetration tests. The study has shown that electrical resistivity is a useful tool for the preliminary identification of horizons of collapsible soils, before more expensive intrusive and laboratory work is undertaken.299-307engCollapsible soilsGeophysicsEnvironmental geotechnicsBrazilArtigo10.1007/s10064-011-0357-8WOS:000293184600014Acesso restrito898767764404124786563030550404960000-0001-7534-9619
