Soil stabilization is a technique to improve the engineering and geotechnical properties of
soils such as mechanical strength, permeability, compressibility, durability and plasticity …

Expansive soils are problematic and susceptible to ground movements, causing significant
damage to overlying structures and reduction of bearing capacity. Geotechnical engineering …

In order to reduce geological disaster caused by expansive soil and utilize waste resources,
a cementing material combined with rice husk ash (RHA) obtained from biomass power …

In this paper, the effectiveness of different chemical stabilizers in improving the engineering
properties of expansive soils is investigated. Three different soils with variable sulfate …

Expansive clay soils are extensively distributed worldwide, and are a source of great
damage to infrastructure and buildings. These soils can cause heavy economic losses, as …

Numerous laboratory-based solutions have been proposed in the recent literature for the
stabilization of unsaturated expansive soil by recycling lignosulphonate (LS). However, the …

Densely compacted loess on which many man-made infrastructures are built are often
exposed to strong weathering processes such as repeated wetting-drying (WD) and freeze …

Biopolymers have recently shown great potential to replace traditional binding materials in
geotechnical engineering; however, more research is required to reach a deeper …

Steel slag is a waste by-product of the steel industry. The recycling usage of steel slag is
limited due to the mutative chemical compositions it contains and its low cementation. In this …

Expansive clayey soils contain silicate clay minerals that have the potential for swelling and
shrinkage under changing moisture contents. Cyclic wetting–drying phenomena can cause …
