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 …

Transportation infrastructure is essential to a nation's everyday life and economic activity.
Accordingly, pavement design and engineering are imperative to ensure safe, comfortable …

The low bearing capacity of expansive soils often results in serviceability issues and
premature failures of infrastructure built upon them. Various studies have demonstrated the …

Swelling is one of the distresses that affect the pavement condition index (PCI) of airport
runways. In northwest Queensland, swelling was observed in three different runways where …

Purpose Expansive soil is a kind of problematic soil with poor engineering properties, and it
needs to be treated before reusing it as engineering construction material. The soil under …

Civil engineers face significant challenges in the safe design and construction of durable
road infrastructure in the presence of expansive soils. These problematic soils exacerbate …

Expansive soils are susceptible to significant volumetric changes due to the fluctuating
moisture levels caused by the infiltration and evaporation of water. This has often resulted in …

This paper evaluates the suitability of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) and waste marble
dust (WMD) on the geotechnical properties of Palygorskite‐rich expansive clays located in …

In the present study, constrained particle swarm optimization, a metaheuristic algorithm, was
integrated into the Taguchi optimization technique to optimize additives for the amendment …

This research aims to provide insights into how the combination of waste plastic powder and
marble powder affects the geotechnical properties of clay soil. The findings from this study …
