Collapsible soils are susceptible to high and relatively sudden volume change after wetting
under a specific load. They tend to have a high initial void index (more than 40%), a low …

Expansive soils expand and lose their strength when wetted and shrink when dried, and this
makes a considerable volume change. Construction on expansive soils has made problems …

The stabilization of clay soils is one of the crucial problems of engineering, because it
determines the long-term stability and operability of structures, especially in case of …

Sodium alginate, a low-carbon cementing agent, was used to control the swelling of
compacted clay for subgrade applications in this research. A series of geotechnical tests …

The focus of this experimental study is to ameliorate the engineering behavior of
Palygorskite-rich medium Expansive soils (ES) by utilizing soda lime glass powder (SLGP) …

The California bearing ratio (CBR) is one of the basic subgrade strength characterization
properties in road pavement design for evaluating the bearing capacity of pavement …

Expansive soils create challenges in civil engineering projects due to their tendency to
significant volume changes with variation in moisture content. In this study, an experimental …

Blast furnace slag has been used for many years in various applications related to civil
engineering. Many studies have created a wide variety of cost-effective and environmentally …

This study aimed to compare the swelling and strength parameters of weak and swellable
soils with calcium carbide residue remaining from acetylene industrial production with lime …

The long-term performance of pavement is greatly influenced by the subgrade soil-bearing
capacity. The areas with lower bearing capability experience higher construction costs due …
