Soil stabilization using additives is considered as one of the sustainable alternative
techniques to deal with acute material shortages. Critically reviewing the contemporary …

This paper reviews a relatively recent approach towards sustainable soil stabilisation, by
utilising ground granulated blastfurnace slag, an industrial by-product from steel …

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 …

Two refined clay minerals, English China Clay (predominantly kaolinite) and Wyoming
Bentonite (predominantly sodium-montmorillonite), were used to assess the time-dependent …

Unconfined compression tests, Brazilian tensile tests, and saturated drained triaxial
compression tests with local strain measurement were carried out to evaluate the stress …

This paper presents the results of geotechnical and mineralogical investigations on lime
treated clay soils from Hamedan City, Iran, and effects of pH variations on their shear …

The procedure of soil treatment with industrial and domestic wastes such as ground glass
and coal ash (acting as pozzolans) and carbide lime is a sustainable practice when the …

The soil of the Guabirotuba geological formation (Paraná Basin, Brazil) has physico-
mechanical properties which are not suitable for its utilization in pavement construction, in …

Sodium silicate and promoters have been widely used as supplementary cementing
materials substituting ordinary Portland cement to improve the properties of stabilized soils …

Lime treatment of loess in foundation engineering modifies the soil structure, leading to
changes in mechanical and hydraulic properties of soil, which in turn will affect the flow of …
