The structural, physical and morphological characteristics of loess will change as a result of
the dissolution of mineral components, mainly carbonate, when it is exposed to acid rain …

This study was conducted to compare soil particle density (ρs), soil total porosity (TP), liquid
limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), and plasticity index, and their relations with soil organic matter …

In this study, the characteristic of the initial freezing point (IFP) of a dispersive saline soil
(lean clay) with different contents of water and salt was investigated, and ten freeze-thaw …

In attempt to give a nobler destiny of ornamental rock residue, in order to expand the use of
ceramic paver, clayey bodies were formulated with 0, 10, 20 and 30 wt.% of waste by …

As the population continues to grow, the consumption of natural resources for use as
primary materials in civil construction also increases. In addressing the need to reduce the …

A number of environmental, agronomic and engineering applications require knowledge of
the Atterberg limits (liquid limit, LL; plastic limit, PL) and the plasticity index, PI of soils. The …

The Atterberg limits (plastic limit [PL] and liquid limit [LL]) of fine‐grained soils are important
for civil engineering and agronomic applications. Several methodologies exist to determine …

Montmorillonite (MMT) is highly sensitive to environmental changes and therefore plays a
key role in the structural evolution of rocks and soils and even damage and disasters. The …

Atterberg limits are broadly used for engineering and geology purposes as well as in
agricultural and environmental applications. Laboratory methods used for their …
