Loess soil deposits are widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions and constitute about
10% of land area of the world. These soils typically have a loose honeycomb-type meta …

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) and associated biogas production may
provide sustainable means of mitigating a number of geotechnical challenges associated …

This paper presents an experimental study aiming to understand the impacts of
nanomaterials on collapsible soil Behavior. Collapsible soils are among problematic soils …

In enzyme induced carbonate precipitation (EICP), calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation
is catalyzed by plant-derived urease enzyme. In EICP, urea hydrolyzes into ammonia and …

Collapsible soils go through three distinct phases in response to matric suction decrease
during wetting: pre-collapse phase, collapse phase and post-collapse phase. It is …

Soil collapse is defined as a considerable reduction in soil volume when inundated under
constantly applied pressure is known to be responsible for the failure of geotechnical …

This paper aims to propose structural models for understanding the collapsibility of a
colluvial and lateritic soil by conducting oedometric tests with controlled suction executed in …

Collapsibility affects loess engineering stability; the straightforward prediction for the self-
weight collapsibility coefficient of loess is useful to determine the collapsibility type of loess …

Collapsible soils have considerable strength and stiffness in their dry natural state but settle
dramatically when they become wet. This paper documents a low-cost, qualitative …

Soil collapse is a critical factor contributing to various pathologies in civil construction,
necessitating the use of suction-controlled techniques, often unavailable in smaller cities in …
