Sediments are the particulate matter that are transported by the flow of water and eventually
get deposited at the bottom of water bodies, such as oceans, rivers, lagoons, and so forth …

Swelling behavior of an expansive soil is principally governed by the contents of
montmorillonite mineral and clay present in it. Studies attributing the swelling behavior to the …

Microlevel properties such as mineralogical and chemical compositions greatly control the
macro behaviour of expansive soils. In this paper, the combined effect of mineral (ie …

Rapid transport of water and solutes through desiccation soil cracks can lead to crop water
and nutrient stress. The challenge of irrigation management of cracking soils is to take …

Clay minerals are essential components of soil systems and understanding their role in soil
structure and function is critical for soil environmental quality management and sustainable …

A comprehensive understanding of the chemical parameters effect can greatly aid in
selecting the most compatible additive and stabilization technique to treat expansive clays …

Mineralogical characteristics of nine Indian expansive soils were examined using the X-ray
diffraction (XRD) technique. Interpretation of diffraction patterns confirmed the presence of …

Many studies state that sodium and calcium contents dominantly influence the swelling
behavior of expansive soils. However, most of the studies available in the literature have …

Swelling behaviour is the prime hindrance for effective utilization of expansive soils as a
geomaterial. To alleviate such behaviour, stabilization with a suitable additive is essential …

Dredged marine sediments, conventionally considered a waste material for disposal, are
either in designated offshore locations or inland containment facilities. Either of these …
