[HTML][HTML] Stabilization of collapsible soils with nanomaterials, fibers, polymers, industrial waste, and microbes: Current trends
Collapsible soils are susceptible to high and relatively sudden volume change after wetting
under a specific load. They tend to have a high initial void index (more than 40%), a low …
