Soil stabilization is a technique to improve the engineering and geotechnical properties of
soils such as mechanical strength, permeability, compressibility, durability and plasticity …

Textiles and apparel are amongst our primary necessities. The increasing environmental
problems associated with the voluminous textile waste discarded in landfills have urged the …

Soil reinforcement is defined as a technique to improve the engineering characteristics of
soil. In this way, using natural fibers to reinforce soil is an old and ancient idea …

This experimental study presents an attempt on the effect of cement addition to expansive
soil on its deformation and strength behaviours when subjected to freezing–thawing (F–T) …

A uniaxial strain-softening constitutive model for fiber-reinforced soils is developed based on
the disturbed state concept (DSC). The response in the relatively intact state is assumed to …

Lignosulfonate is one of the by-products in the paper and pulp industry that is widely
produced around the world and its improper disposal or storage can pose irreparable risks …

Expansive soils located in permafrost and seasonal frozen regions can easily suffer from the
action of frost heaving and repeated freezing–thawing. When exposed to freeze–thaw (F–T) …

Improving highway subgrades is the most crucial step that increases the performance and
longtime durability of pavements. Using fly ash to improve the properties of subgrades and …

Although natural fibers can improve the strength behavior of frozen-thawed soil, the
reinforcing mechanism is still not fully understood. To investigate the effects of freeze-thaw …

This paper presents an attempt about the effect of freeze–thaw cycles on unconfined
compressive strength (UCS) of fine grained soil (low-plasticity silt) treated with jute fiber …
