This study aims to emphasize the importance of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in
explaining the differences in the physical and mechanical behaviors of the improved clays …

Peat is formed by the degradation of plants and animals in the lack of oxygen and is widely
known for its very weak geotechnical characteristics. This is the reason to be considered as …

Engineering construction in loess areas often requires improvement of loess. Basalt fiber-
reinforced soil due to complexity of material composition often exhibits poorly predictable …

An accurate evaluation of the clay's properties when mixed with recyclable materials is the
end objective of many geotechnical experimental efforts. However, experimental studies …

Expansive/swell‐shrink soils exhibit high plasticity and low strength, which lead to
settlement and instability of lightly loaded structures. These problematic soils contain various …

A massive amount of industrial waste is readily available for civil engineering works.
However, even a small amount can cause serious ecological problems. Global warming, on …

Because the experimental trials in civil engineering field are difficult and time-consuming,
the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques is attracting considerable attention …

Stabilization of soils with additives is a widely used improvement method. With the mass
production of nanomaterials in various fields, and their application in geotechnical …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of steel slag as an additive to the
engineering properties of weak clay soil. Different geotechnical laboratory tests were …

Peat is a renowned problematic soil and needs stabilization to enhance its engineering
properties. Silica fume (SF) and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) were extensively adopted …
