Soil is one of the most important construction materials in the world. It has been effectively
exploited for various purposes, such as building social infrastructures, growing agricultural …

A frequent problem in geotechnics is soils with inadequate physical–mechanical properties
to withstand construction work, incurring cost overruns caused by their engineering …

This experimental investigation involves adaptation of constrained simplex mixture design
optimization technique for modeling of the mechanical behavior of soil–saw dust ash (SDA) …

Taguchi approach, which is an offline quality control optimization technique, was combined
with grey relational analysis (GRA) in this study to evaluate its effectiveness to optimize …

Black cotton soil (BCS) undergoes high enlargement and contraction due to variation in
water content. Swelling and shrinkage properties of BCS can be improved by reinforcing it …

The swell-shrink characteristics of the expansive soils, due to the properties of their clay
minerals, make them unsuitable for engineering constructions in their natural forms. One of …

The study considers the strength and structural characterization of lateritic soil road base in
order to increase the strength of low-volume sealed road construction. Sugar Cane Bagasse …

In this study, inexpensive dual precursors namely rice husk ash (RHA) and quarry dust (QD)
were mixed with an alkali solution (NaOH solution) in different mix proportions. Next, the …

Abstract Compacted Black Cotton Soils (BCS) used in geotechnical constructions such as
dams and clayey liners in waste containment facilities can suffer from cracking due to …

In the present study, the influence of multiple additives on the strength development and
micro-pore characteristics of a weak expansive soil, known as tropical black clay (TBC), was …
