This study aims to emphasize the importance of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in
explaining the differences in the physical and mechanical behaviors of the improved clays …

Expansive soils, also known as swell-shrink soils, are one of the most problematic soils in
highway construction and exhibit significant volume changes by swelling and shrinking …

Granite tile dust is a waste material produced in large amounts during the cutting and
grinding processes of granite tiles at manufacturing factories and construction sites …

An accurate evaluation of the clay's properties when mixed with recyclable materials is the
end objective of many geotechnical experimental efforts. However, experimental studies …

Waste steel slag is an industrial by-product during the process of steelmaking, and it is
usually stacked in steelmaking plants. Employing steel slag in treating dredged sludge (DS) …

This study investigated the feasibility of using lime (L) and carbide slag (CS) to activate
ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), as a potential substitute to Portland cement …

A reliable prediction of the soil properties mixed with recycled material is considered as an
ultimate goal of many geotechnical laboratory works. In this study, after planning and …

A massive amount of industrial waste is readily available for civil engineering works.
However, even a small amount can cause serious ecological problems. Global warming, on …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of steel slag as an additive to the
engineering properties of weak clay soil. Different geotechnical laboratory tests were …

Peat is formed by the degradation of plants and animals in the lack of oxygen and is widely
known for its very weak geotechnical characteristics. This is the reason to be considered as …
