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

Aeolian sands are fine to medium, non-plastic and uniformly graded materials present in
many sandy sites, mainly in desert areas. In certain places, these materials can be found in …

The efficiency of typical chemical and mechanical soil stabilization techniques in mitigating
the swelling problem of an expansive soil is investigated through a comprehensive …

A selected commercially available sulphonated oil (SO) and a polymer were evaluated for
use as soil stabilizers in a laboratory-based investigation. Two naturally occurring soils …

Dune sands have low shear strength due to weak particle structures and lack of bondings.
Environmental challenges, sandstorms for instance, can be occurred by the wind. Therefore …

A moisture-activated liquid polymer from the generic family of Methylene Diphenyl
Diisocyanate (MDI) was studied as a soil stabilizer for poorly graded (SP) sand. The focus of …

This is a book about the reclamation of arid lands. Arid lands can be defined as regions
where evaporation exceeds precipitation. Harsh ecological conditions, especially rainfall …

This book presents the first comprehensive text on construction biomaterials and
bioprocesses. It details aspects of construction biotechnology, a new interdisciplinary area …

A series of tests were carried out on sulfate rich, high-plasticity clay and poorly-graded
natural sand to study the effectiveness of a methylene diphenyl diisocyanate based liquid …

Nowadays, chitosan biopolymer has received much research attention in geoenvironmental
practices like soil erosion reduction, hydraulic conductivity, and heavy metal absorption in …
