A laboratory study on the stabilization of black cotton soil (BCS) with up to 8% lime admixed
with up to 10% iron ore tailing (IOT) by dry weight of soil compacted with British Standard …

This research dwells on how black cotton soil (BCS) could be stabilized and made a suitable
subgrade material using sawdust, a readily and cheaply available material. Sawdust was …

Expansive soil is the most predominant geologic hazard which shows a large amount of
shrinkage and swelling with changes in their moisture content. This study investigates the …

The growing cost of traditional stabilizing agents and the need for the economical utilization
of industrial and agricultural waste for beneficial engineering purposes has prompted an …

Black clay soils or tropical black earth or black cotton soils are known to be potentially
expansive soils. They classify in pedological parlance as Vertisols and have been subject of …

The stabilization of soil through the addition of fly ash has been shown to be an effective
alternative for improving the strength and stiffness of soil through the resulting chemical …

The rapid development of urban areas and the increase in construction activities have
resulted in a scarcity of land with favorable soil conditions, necessitating the use of locally …

The results of a laboratory study on the influence of standard Proctor and West African
