Smectite-based geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are popularly employed as hydraulic
barriers due to their low permeability and high swelling capacity. The exposure of GCLs to …

Expansive soils have typical expansion and contraction properties. Under the action of dry-
wet cycles, the mechanical properties and cracking behaviour of expansive soil change …

Hydrogels were synthesized with pectin and modified with montmorillonite for case studies
involving the removal of dyes and herbicides from water. Methylene blue and 2, 4 …

Expansive soils are found in many parts of the countries like India, Australia, Ethiopia,
Sudan and USA in the form of black cotton soil (BCS). The distress induced by swelling and …

This paper presents an approach for stabilising high plastic soil (HPS) with fly ash-based
geopolymer and its application in flexible pavement. The mechanical performance of HPS …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of steel slag as an additive to the
engineering properties of weak clay soil. Different geotechnical laboratory tests were …

Expansive soils are known as geotechnically problematic soils and represent a significant
challenge for both civil engineering and geotechnical applications. The primary issue with …

Lime is a common stabilizer in soil remediation projects. However, in terms of the
considerable emissions of greenhouse gases in lime production, the replacement of …

The present experimental study is focused on quantifying the initiation and propagation of
desiccation cracking and strain localization in lime-treated compacted expansive soils …

Microlevel properties such as mineralogical and chemical compositions greatly control the
macro behaviour of expansive soils. In this paper, the combined effect of mineral (ie …
