The presence of expansive soils on construction sites is problematic in geotechnical
engineering. The swell-shrink behaviour makes these soils not suitable to be used in their …

In geotechnical practice, the shrink-swell behaviour of heaving soils causes significant
damage to constructions. Soil stabilisation techniques helped to enhance the strength of …

The shear strength is a fundamental property of soil material. The measurement of the shear
strength of unsaturated soils is challenging. Several tests are necessary to establish the …

The study investigated the performance of cement and bagasse ash composite as soil
stabilizer. The bagasse ash was obtained from Costus bracteatus Rowlee. Lateritic soil …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the influences of soil index properties, swelling
parameters, and soil mineralogy on unsaturated shear strength parameters (ϕ', ϕb, c') of …

An investigative study was under taken on a black cotton soil (BCS) of Eket senatorial district
which possessed a swell-shrinkage potential phenomenon that is prone to severe, crack …

In geotechnical engineering, expansive soils are not a suitable soil material to be used as
soil support due to the swell/shink behaviour of these soils. Reactive soils are distributed …
