Traditional soil stabilizers such as lime and cement are widely used to reduce swell and
shrinkage behavior and enhance strength properties of expansive soils through the …

Soil cover systems such as capillary barriers and compacted covers experience cyclic drying
and wetting induced by evaporation and infiltration. These wetting and drying cycles have …

Expansive clayey soils undergo significant volumetric changes, and desiccation cracks
develop due to wetting and drying cycles. The presence of desiccation cracks changes the …

The prevailing method currently used in treating and stabilizing expansive soil is chemical
stabilization. The two materials that are widely used in this regard are lime and cement. They …

The study aimed to fundamentally understand how soil strength and hydraulic properties are
impacted by recurring cycles of wetting and drying induced by climate variability, with the …

Each year, numerous highway and dam slopes that are built with high plasticity clays
experience shallow slope failures. Besides the high maintenance and repair costs, these …
