Despite the variety of available stabilization methods for the expansive soil, a rapid
stabilization and remediation solution for this class of the problematic soil is still needed …

Expansive soils exist in many countries worldwide, and their characteristics make them
exceedingly difficult to engineer. Due to its significant swelling and shrinkage characteristics …

Recently, microbial biopolymer-based soil treatment (BPST) has gained attention for its
application in environmentally friendly soil stabilization, particularly for enhancing the …

This study investigates the performance of granular anchor piles and helical piles in
expansive soils. Expansive soils pose challenges for engineering due to their significant …

Swelling behavior of expansive soil has always created problems in the field of geotechnical
engineering. Generally, the method used to assess the swelling potential of expansive soil …

Characteristics of fine-grained soils primarily depend on their specific-surface area and
hence, reliable determination of this parameter is essential. In this context, researchers have …

Expansive soil contains montmorillonite clay mineral; which has tendency to swell by
imbibing water in monsoon season and shrink or become harder by leaving cracks in drier …

The mechanical performances and water retention characteristics of clays, stabilised by
partial substitution of cement with by-products and inclusion of a nanotechnology-based …

Stabilization is one of the most preferred techniques of dealing with expansive soils. Several
types of additives have been evolved and are successfully being used for this purpose. This …

The one-dimensional (1-D) potential heave (or swell strain) of expansive soil is
conventionally estimated using the swelling pressure and swelling index values that are …
