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 …

Engineering construction in loess areas often requires improvement of loess. Basalt fiber-
reinforced soil due to complexity of material composition often exhibits poorly predictable …

An earthwork design requires to consider the influence of severe climatic conditions on
enduring performance of soils treated with chemical additives. This study was focused on …

Expansive/swell‐shrink soils exhibit high plasticity and low strength, which lead to
settlement and instability of lightly loaded structures. These problematic soils contain various …

A massive amount of industrial waste is readily available for civil engineering works.
However, even a small amount can cause serious ecological problems. Global warming, on …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of steel slag as an additive to the
engineering properties of weak clay soil. Different geotechnical laboratory tests were …

The main objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficiency of ordinary
Portland cement (OPC) in enhancing the unconfined compressive strength of soft soil alone …

Compacted granular columns are commonly used to support embankments over soft soils.
Using a reinforcement layer under the embankment causes the total stress to be further …

This study involves an experimental examination of compression behaviors of fly ash
stabilized marine clay cured at different times concerning the influences of pore water …

Industrial wastes, such as steel slag and desulfurized gypsum, are piled up in large
quantities and only a very small portion is recycled, adversely impacting natural ecosystems …
