With their ability to swell and shrink in relation to the environment's water content, expansive
soils are considered as geonatural hazards and form a challenge to geotechnical and …

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 this study, gene expression programming (GEP) and multi gene expression programming
(MEP) are utilized to formulate new prediction models for determining the compaction …

Concrete structures frequently experience the phenomena of crack development. The
researchers used certain healing agents to boost the frequently observed autogenous crack …

Based on an extensive list of research work, expansive soil is renowned for its swelling-
shrinkage property. Despite the wealth of research, the strength characteristics of expansive …

This paper presents details of a study that deals with determination of engineering
properties, identification of phases of major hydration products, and microstructural …

The durability, efficiency and the integrity of structures built within or over mountain soils are
mainly controlled by the geotechnical properties. It is therefore imperative to analyse these …

In order to reduce the brittleness of soil stabilized by lime only, a recent study of a newly
proposed mixture of polypropylene fibre and lime for ground improvement is described and …

Expansive clay soils are extensively distributed worldwide, and are a source of great
damage to infrastructure and buildings. These soils can cause heavy economic losses, as …

Abstract Calcium Carbide Residue (CCR) and Fly Ash (FA) are waste by-products from
acetylene gas and power plant production, respectively. The liquid alkaline activator studied …
