Geopolymers, or also known as alkali-activated binders, have recently emerged as a viable
alternative to conventional binders (cement) for soil stabilization. Geopolymers employ …

Expansive soils, also known as swell-shrink soils, are one of the most problematic soils in
highway construction and exhibit significant volume changes by swelling and shrinking …

This study investigates the use of various industrial waste materials—silica fume (SF),
cement kiln dust (CKD), calcium carbide residue (CCR), rice husk ash (RHA), and ground …

Weak soil causes significant challenges during infrastructure development, necessitating
soil stabilization to enhance its engineering properties. The pozzolanic properties of Ground …

The use of carbide sludge (CS)-ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) for clay slurry
treatment has shown superior strength performance compared to ordinary Portland cement …

In this paper, the performance of ladle furnace slag (LFS), a by-product of secondary steel
refining, is evaluated as a binder to stabilize clayey soils of low bearing capacity. The aim is …

Agro-biogenic stabilization of expansive subgrade soils is trending to achieve cost-effective
and sustainable geotechnical design to resist distress and settlement during the application …

As a type of common industrial waste, phosphogypsum (PG) has raised concerns about
environmental pollution and its comprehensive usage. However, scholars need to deepen …

In the last 10–15 years, the use of waste refractory materials has significantly increased
because it is not economically justified to transport such expensive materials to landfills. This …

Soil is a surface material formed from the disintegration of rock under physical and chemical
processes. Each soil has different characteristics because of the formation process. The …
