One of the methods to improve adhesion between asphalt binder and aggregate and to
reduce moisture susceptibility in asphalt mixtures is aggregate treatment using suitable …

Expansive clays containing mineral montmorillonite exhibit swelling and shrinkage due to
variations in the moisture content, leading to significant distresses. There has been a …

This paper presents the theoretical and experimental concepts of predicting moisture
damage in asphalt concrete mixes using the surface free energy (SFE) concept and …

The shallow failure of most expansive soil slopes undergoing wet–dry cycles occurs during
or after long-term rainfall. According to the actual failure state of an expansive soil slope, the …

In general, granular fill materials are widely used to construct new pavement and rehabilitate
old pavement. For pavement design, it is essential to know the basic characteristics, such as …

This paper presents the use of fly ash (FA) and liquid alkaline activator (LAA) to amend the
engineering behavior of expansive soil (ES) based on a series of unconfined compressive …

To improve the mechanical properties of asphalt pavement and extend its life cycle, a new
type of reinforcing material termed ROADMESH was introduced. To verify its superior …

Pavements constructed on expansive soil subgrades are often subjected to distress due to
the volume change behaviour of the expansive soil. This study investigated the use of high …

This paper investigates the efficacy of an alternative construction methodology proposed by
the authors in the form of a 'C'-shaped lime stabilized capping. It is used for confining …

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 …
