Soil replacement with medium-graded waste materials is an effective means to improve the
physical properties of marginal soil prior to cement stabilization and to minimize the input of …

Soil structure, especially the soil pore size distribution, is a fundamental property that
describes the hydro-mechanical behavior of soils. The volume change behavior, shear …

Lateritic soil is rich in oxides of iron and aluminum (sesquioxide). The effects of these oxides
on its mechanical behaviour are not well-understood. In this study, the compression and …

At first glance, roads seem like the simplest possible geotechnical structures. However,
analysis of these structures runs up against complexities related to the intense stresses …

Loess is a kind of soil that experiences a long period of deposition, and it is relatively stable
under natural conditions. However, in the process of engineering construction in loess …

The role of a landfill liner in the waste management process cannot be overemphasized.
They are usually made of clay soils or geosynthetic materials or both with the sole purpose …

It is well recognised that the compressibility of unsaturated soils is affected by soil structure.
However, the effects of soil aggregation and pore structure on the compressibility behaviour …

Climate change has resulted in increasing attention being paid to the effects of temperature
and humidity on vegetated soil. However, existing constitutive models rarely investigate the …

Lateritic clay is well recognized to contain significant amount of iron and aluminium oxides
(sesquioxide). These oxides enhance the formation of soil aggregates which would greatly …

The paper presents an experimental study on the volumetric behavior of two compacted
soils (Boughrara and Châtaignier clays) through suction-controlled drying-wetting and …
