Abstract Knowledge of the behavior of highly compacted expansive clays, as an engineered
barrier, in disposal of high-level nuclear waste (HLW) systems to prevent the pollution due to …

Problematic soils with high compressibility and low shear strength are often treated with
traditional chemical stabilizing additives such as cement and lime to improve their …

This paper presents the role of influential factors on the strength development in a clay–fly
ash geopolymer that a silty clay is used as fine aggregates and fly ash, FA is used as a …

Three quarters of the world's significant urban centers are located in coastal regions where
clay minerals are prevalent. The microstructures and physico-mechanical properties of clay …

This article presents an analysis of previously published hydraulic conductivity data for a
wide range of sediments. All soils exhibit a prevalent power trend between the hydraulic …

Abstract Calcium Carbide Residue (CCR) and Fly Ash (FA) are waste by-products from
acetylene gas and power plant production, respectively. The liquid alkaline activator studied …

The relationship between hydraulic conductivity and void ratio is briefly reviewed. The
classical Kozeny-Carman equation is known for its capacity to describe hydraulic …

This paper investigates the strength development with different ingredients, specimen sizes,
and heating conditions for the manufacturing of clay–fly ash geopolymer. A silty clay is used …

Stabilization of problematic soils for earthwork applications can be performed using a variety
of chemical additives, with lime, cement, or fly ash all being traditionally employed for this …

Cement stabilization is extensively used to improve engineering properties of soft saline
clays. The effect of salinity, which is modified by geological and climate changes, on the …
