Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are environmentally friendly stabilizers to improve the
engineering properties of excavated soils with high water contents. The present study aims …

Recent tailings dam failures have attracted special attention to the mining sector. These
incidents pressured the mining industry to develop more secure and sustainable practices …

Using alkali-activated materials to treat waste materials is becoming more prevalent in
geotechnical engineering. Adding these materials into soil particles as a cementitious …

Background Metformin is a commonly prescribed and well-tolerated medication. In
laboratory studies, metformin suppresses BRAF wild-type melanoma cells but accelerates …

The stabilization of clayey soils is one of the most challenging areas of geotechnical
engineers. In shallow and deep stabilization works, the most preferred materials are lime …

This study investigates the innovative reuse of sewage sludge with eco-friendly alkaline
solutes to improve clayey soil without conventional cementitious binders. The unconfined …

This study aims to assess the suitability of micro-silica (MS) as an industrial waste to modify
the hydro-mechanical behavior of expansive soil in comparison with the use of lime as a …

Solid wastes are increasingly used to stabilize marine soft clay. Disposals of alkali slag and
steel slag cause serious problems in Lianyungang City. These two waste materials are used …

There is a growing interest in the geomechanical behaviour of low performing soils
strengthened with alkali-activated materials, which have been promoted as low-carbon …

This study investigated the use of ladle furnace slag fines (FLF) for soil stabilisation. It
contributes to the current state-of-the-art by comparing the effects of FLF on engineering …
