Collapsible soils are susceptible to high and relatively sudden volume change after wetting
under a specific load. They tend to have a high initial void index (more than 40%), a low …

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a new material in the construction industry, with different
chemical compositions and reactions involved in a binding material. The pozzolanic …

The efficiency and survivability of any structural component are determined not only by the
quality of the building materials used but also by the geological conditions underneath the …

This review article addresses the potential for biopolymer-based composites made from
agricultural waste biomass to replace conventional materials in a sustainable and …

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 …

The global trend toward sustainable development, coupled with growing concerns about
environmental pollution and the depletion of fossil energy resources, has contributed to the …

Conventional techniques of soil stabilization involve using additives such as lime and
cement. However, these methods take up a great deal of energy and cause considerable …

Waste sludge is a typical solid waste generated during construction excavation, which
needs innocuity treatment and resource utilization. The development of geopolymer …

The aim of this review is to bring together the main natural polymer applications for
environmental remediation, as a class of nexus materials with advanced properties that offer …

Montmorillonite (MMT) is the main component of bentonite and its mechanical behaviour is
sensitive to hydration degrees and structural anisotropy. In this study, molecular dynamics …
