Volume instability of expansive soils due to moisture fluctuations is often disastrous, causing
severe damages and distortions in the supported structures. It is, therefore, necessary to …

Soil amelioration is a challenging task in bulk civil engineering applications such as
embankment slopes, landfill liner, pavement subgrade, retaining wall back fill. The …

This article presents the novel application of new ternary low carbon limestone calcined clay
cement (LC3) to deal with construction problems associated with problematic expansive …

In this paper, the effectiveness of different chemical stabilizers in improving the engineering
properties of expansive soils is investigated. Three different soils with variable sulfate …

Sustainable engineering discourages the use of conventional soil stabilizers such as lime
and cement owing to their higher carbon emission rates. To address these challenges, many …

Abstract Phase Change Materials (PCMs) can store and release large amounts of energy in
the form of latent heat during their phase changes, which could be utilized in controlling the …

The reinforcement of soils is the technique that geotechnical engineers currently use to
improve the shear strength and bearing capacity parameters, especially when the land …

The use of industrial by-products such as fly ash and slag have become very prevalent in
soil stabilization owing to its suitable physical and mechanical properties, and economical …

Expansive soil is typically described as a hidden disaster. The presence of expansive soil in
construction sites is associated with the deterioration of structures resulting from volume …

Inclusion of cement in fly ash and slag mixed soils could potentially alter the leaching
behavior of elements. This study investigated the leaching characteristics of calcium (Ca) …
