Deep soil mixing is a ground improvement method that enhances the characteristics of soft
soils by mechanically mixing the soil with cementitious binders such as cement and fly ash …

This study explored the coupling effect of the recycled ash and natural fibers to control the
expansive soil's strength and durability attributes. The bottom ash (BA) was used to …

Geotechnical and geo-environmental engineers are interested in the desiccation-induced
cracks as they significantly influence the performance of geotechnical structures. A …

This study explores the coupling effect of pond ash (PA) and polypropylene (PP) fiber to
control the strength and durability of expansive soil. The PA is used to chemically treat the …

Clay minerals and clayey soils have been extensively researched over the last century
leading to a rich and still evolving corpus of knowledge on clay chemistry, microstructure …

Compacted expansive soils undergo large volumetric changes during wet–dry cycles owing
to the seasonal moisture fluctuations, and during drying the shrinkage is accompanied with …

This study presents the experimental results of the effective utilization of polypropylene (PP)
fibre and silica fume (SF) to stabilize the expansive soil subgrade as a possible alternative …

Digital camera was used to record the dynamic process of soil desiccation cracks in real
time. With application of image processing technique, the relationship between the …

Several geotechnical structures constructed with fine soils submitted to wetting and drying
(WD) cycles face a variety of disorders. This is the case of some roads and slopes in the …

In geotechnical engineering, there is a significant potential of using image analysis
technique to study cracking soils by quantifying the characteristics of the crack network. In …
