Earth structures like roads and railways in cold regions face recurring freeze-thaw (FT)
cycles, leading to issues often overlooked by design guidelines that focus primarily on …

Nano soil-improvement is an innovative idea in geotechnical engineering. Nanomaterials
are among the newest additives that improve soil properties. Herein, laboratory tests, such …

Featured Application This work suggests a stabilization technique for improving the
engineering properties of problematic soils (ie, very high plastic clays of low strength and …

This study investigates the effect of nanosilica and plantain leaf ash on the sustainable
stabilization of expansive soil. This study conducted various strength tests, including …

Bio-cementation soil treatment technique has shown significant strength improvement in
sandy soils rather than clayey soils. In the present study, an attempt was made to examine …

A rapid growth in the population leads to a large increase in engineering construction. This
means there is an inevitability in regard to building on problematic soils. Soil reinforcement …

Environmental-friendly sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate congenial with ordinary
Portland cement (OPC) are used as soil stabilizing agents in this study. This research …

This study focused on the utilization of nano-MgO as an energy-saving and eco-friendly
stabilizer to improve the engineering performance of loess. To this end, loess samples at …

For sustainable development of Etioro Akoko, Southwestern Nigeria, soil materials must
meet and exceed the requirements of a good tropical environment soil. This study is aimed …

As the size of the soil particles varies from 4.75 mm to 1 nm, void spaces form at the
nanolevel. Due to more void spaces impacting a higher plasticity index, more settlement …
