Expansive soil exhibits significantly low volumetric stability when exposed to moisture
fluctuations, rendering it unsuitable for use in geotechnical applications. The present study …

Expansive soil is predominantly impervious and exhibits dual nature (swelling/shrinkage)
when exposed to moisture fluctuation. It is difficult to control the heave action which renders …

Expansive black cotton soil (BCS) exhibits low volumetric stability due to moisture
imbalance. Traditional binders like lime and cement show a massive impact on environment …

Marl soils with different carbonate contents usually show more unpredictable behavior than
other problematic soils. In some marl soil groups, freezing–thawing (FT) cycles can result in …

The effluents discharging from various industrial and anthropogenic activities may contain
traces of heavy metals. In most countries, these effluents are being disposed into landfills or …

Due to the rapid development and population growth, many coastal areas and countries are
in shortage of land space. Large amount soft soil generated from excavation work has been …

Unexpected volume changes manifested in the soil beds due to accidental release of alkalis
from industrial establishments has become a major challenge. The neogenic formation that …

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 …

Numerous techniques are available to improve soils characterized by inadequate shear
strength, bearing capacity, and other swelling parameters, which can jeopardize the stability …

Research on the impact of alkali contamination on the swelling behavior of red earth in the
Visakhapatnam region has been notably limited. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the …
