Volume instability of expansive soils due to moisture fluctuations is often disastrous, causing
severe damages and distortions in the supported structures. It is, therefore, necessary to …

Geopolymer based soil stabilization is an emerging research field as shown by recent
research studies which indicate strong potential of their wide use for sustainable ground …

This paper innovatively proposes the use of natural rice husk for reinforcing stabilized soil,
and the experimental results exhibit the application potential. The reinforcement effects of …

Implementation of construction works on weak (eg, compressible, collapsible, expansive)
soils such as peatlands often is limited by logistics of equipment and shortage of available …

Expansive soil is considered an engineering problem that may cause cracks and distresses
in structures and roads. Due to its swelling potential and low unconfined strength, expansive …

Expansive soil is typically described as a hidden disaster. The presence of expansive soil in
construction sites is associated with the deterioration of structures resulting from volume …

This study investigated the use of phosphogypsum (PG) in the long term as a construction
material, especially in pavement structures. This study aimed to investigate the effect of …

Expansive soils exist in many countries worldwide, and their characteristics make them
exceedingly difficult to engineer. Due to its significant swelling and shrinkage characteristics …

Fly ash acquired from power stations causes removal challenges and environmental
concerns. Disposal concerns can be solved by employing these waste materials as a raw …

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia covers an area of approximately 2 million km2 and is rich in
natural resources that are necessary for industrial development. The estimated mineral …
