This paper provides a review of the research on use of polymers for soil stabilization in
pavement and geotechnical engineering. First, the properties impacting the effectiveness of …

Expansive soils are problematic due to the performances of their clay mineral constituent,
which makes them exhibit the shrink-swell characteristics. The shrink-swell behaviours …

The objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of rice husk biochar (RHB) and coal fly ash
(CAF) on the formation and stability of aggregates, pore size distribution, water retention …

Expansive soils located in permafrost and seasonal frozen regions can easily suffer from the
action of frost heaving and repeated freezing–thawing. When exposed to freeze–thaw (F–T) …

The efficiency of typical chemical and mechanical soil stabilization techniques in mitigating
the swelling problem of an expansive soil is investigated through a comprehensive …

This study presents results of an experimental program with respect to fiber's capacity of
mitigating the swelling behavior of an expansive soil. Two types of tape–shaped fibers, ie …

This study examines the combined capacity of rubber powder inclusion and polymer
treatment in solving the swelling problem of South Australian expansive soils. The rubber …

To study the adaptability of cement-improved expansive soil as a heavy-haul railway
subgrade filling material, based on a test section of the Inner Mongolia-Jiangxi railway …

Pavement structures constructed on the expansive soil subgrade experience a higher
upward pressure compared to any other subgrade material. The upward pressure is caused …

Various factors can affect the durability of roads, such as the strength of sub-grade, the
quality of the sub-base and base course, the environments and properties of the soil used …
