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 …

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 …

Glass waste in soil stabilization is a promising use as a precursor of forming geopolymers
and avoid its discard in landfills as well as decreasing the consumption of traditional binders …

Expansive soils swell when they absorb water and shrink by losing water. This process
causes significant volume changes in highly expansive clay soils. Clay soil foundations …

The amount of waste materials such as dredged materials (DM) and waste glass (WG) have
been growing exponentially since the middle of the 20th century. The most important …

The stabilisation of expansive clay subgrades using recycled glass (RG) was proposed, as a
sustainable ground improvement technique. Previous studies mainly focused on using RG …

The determination of the Representative Elementary Volume (REV) is vital for
comprehending the behavior of soil structural characteristics within the micro-to-macro …

Low plasticity clays are found in abundance worldwide, exerting undue stresses on civil
structures, road pavements and railway infrastructure, owing to the periodic settlement …

The focus of the present study is to improve the engineering behavior of Clays belonging to
Upper Siwalik Formation and located in the sub-tropical zone with average annual rainfall of …

Expansive soils (ES) are unsuitable for construction because of their low shear strength,
bearing capacity, unconfined compression strength (UCS), and high shrink-swell potential …
