The increase in infrastructure requirement drives people to use all types of soils, including
poor soils. These poor soils, which are weak at construction, must be improved using …

Kuttanad region in Kerala, India, is a place that predominantly consists of soft soil formations
with low shear strength and low water resistance rendering them problematic for …

Soil compaction is a considerable construction activity to ensure safety and durability,
notably in the transportation industry. Compaction delay (CD) occurs because of …

This paper reports the influence of delay time on the index and engineering properties of
geopolymer-, cement-, and lime-treated expansive soil. Locally available expansive soil was …

Interface yield stress (YS) and plastic viscosity (PV) have a significant impact on the
pumpability of concrete mixes. This study is based on the application of predictive machine …

In this paper, grey relational analysis (GRA) and fuzzy logic were successfully combined
with Taguchi optimization method and utilized on multiple quality responses to optimize …

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 …

This study aims to investigate the long-term and immediate effects of freeze-thaw (FT) cycles
on the resilient modulus (MR) of two different expansive subgrades before and after lime …

The current experimental research aims to valorise two Saharan soils (dune sand and tuff)
for pavement purposes in arid zones. A mixture of 65% tuff and 35% dune sand (named …

Highway pavement infrastructure projects which involve soil improvement should be
executed, ensuring environmental sustainability. In the present study, guar gum (GG) and …
