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 …

The recent need to develop infrastructure, driven by global population growth is forcing
societies to construct on any soil type available within their vicinity including weak soils …

Tile waste is found in several forms including manufacturing slurry, manufacturing dust, and
solid pieces from cracked, smashed, and rejected tiles at the construction sites. Worn out …

Marine clay is a soft soil that could be found widely at the coastal and offshore areas. This
type of soil is usually associated with high settlement and instability, poor soil properties that …

Soft soils are considered as disadvantages in construction, especially in clay layers. It
requires many advanced techniques to treat the soft soils before construction, aiming to …

The aggregate size of soils is an essential parameter in lime treatment: the thermo-hydro-
mechanical behaviour of lime-treated soils can be greatly affected by the aggregate size of …

The interaction between landfill leachate and olivine-treated marine clay was studied to
assess its chemical compatibility for suitable application as a bottom liner material in …

Shrinkage of expansive soils may cause serious problems to geotechnical and geo-
environmental structures. In this study, the shrinkage behaviour of compacted clay treated …

To clarify the mechanism of stiffness change by pozzolanic reaction for lime-stabilised soils
during curing, it is essential to avoid the effect of water evaporation in this process. In this …

Many chemicals stabilisation techniques are being employed all over the world to improve
the engineering and physical properties of the problematic soils and reduce the potential …
