Volume instability of expansive soils due to moisture fluctuations is often disastrous, causing
severe damages and distortions in the supported structures. It is, therefore, necessary to …

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

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

The changes in the main geotechnical properties (plasticity, unconfined compressive
strength, swelling pressure and permeability) associated with the micro level texture and …

This study presents the use of cement kiln dust (CKD) and fly ash (FA) to improve the
unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of soft Bangkok clay compared with ordinary …

Gypseous soil is a problematic soil due to its high water sensitivity. Its behavior depends on
its gypsum content and it loses much of its strength when saturated. Lime stabilization is a …

Stabilization using lime and cement is a widespread technique that provides civil
engineering applications for soils with poor geotechnical performance. This article describes …

Most develo** countries have an urgent need to construct and build houses that are more
durable at a low cost. The compressed earth block (CEB) has been identified as a low-cost …

Laterite soil is commonly used as a fill or pavement material. However, it tends to lose its
natural bonding and experiences large deformation when subjected to cyclic rainy (wet) and …

In seasonally frozen regions, earth structures such as embankments and roads are exposed
to periodic freezing–thawing. Most problems with these structures arise from the fact that …
