The saprolite soils are found on the bottom of the excavation of deposits that are commonly used in the construction of earth dams. Are not normally used by the unknowns of their suitable properties to generate a sealing structure. In some situations by inexistências sufficient mature residual soils for construction of the dam or distance issues and possible to build the dam with poorly developed soils (young residual soils). This was the motivation for conducting this research. All mechanical and characterization tests on soil samples young (saprolite) and from knowledge of its properties numerical simulations were performed to demonstrate possible to build small dams with young residual soil with the care of the issues related to safety and reduction were performed probable costs. The experimental and numerical results confirmed this possibility
