The geotechnical characteristics of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils have been
concentrated heretofore due to the alarming frequency of hydrocarbon contaminations and …

Soil polluted by oil and its derivatives is a critical environmental issue worldwide that
jeopardizes ecological systems and causes geotechnical problems. This review paper …

The leakage of petroleum products contaminates the soil and changes its physical and
mechanical properties. This paper is a part of an extensive laboratory program aimed at …

Oil products contaminate the soil in a variety of ways. In addition to environmental hazards,
petroleum pollutants change the geotechnical characteristics of the soils. Clayey soils have …

Leaking tanks may lead to severe contamination of their surrounding soil. The geotechnical
behavior of the soil varies with the physicochemical processes that occur between the …

The use of oil-contaminated sand in building and construction is now being considered as
an alternative and cost-effective way to minimize its adverse effect on the environment. To …

An investigation into the behavior of a contaminated clay soil and its treatment was carried
out through a program of experimental tests. The contaminated soil samples were prepared …

Severe modification of geotechnical properties of soils mainly occurred due to physical
and/or physicochemical interactions between soil and contaminants such as oils, landfill …

An experimental program was conducted to investigate the effect of pore fluid and stress
history on the consolidation behavior of two clay soils with low and high plasticity. The soil …

The article presents the results of qualitative and quantitative microstructural analysis, and
the basic properties of clay soils subjected to long-term contamination by liquid petroleum …
