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 …

Since clayey soils naturally present low mechanical strength, they pose direct challenges for
engineering applications. Finding appropriate soil stabilizers to address the challenges …

The strength of marl soils decreases drastically in the variation of the water content. This has
caused such soil to be introduced as problematic soil in geotechnical projects. In the present …

Quantitative estimation of mechanical characteristics of soils and determination of their
behavior using in-situ experiments have always been one of the main concerns of …

Abstract Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is an important source of pollution to the environment,
characterized by a very low pH and high metal (loid) s concentration. The objective of this …

The problematic expansive soils are spread in many countries and require significant
improvement. The impacts of nanosilica and the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) slag on the …

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) have been proposed as sustainable alternatives to
traditional stabilizers. This study investigated the effect of freeze-thaw and wet-dry conditions …

In pavement construction, the need to utilize affordable fillers to improve asphalt mixture's
performance cannot be overemphasized due to the rising cost of pavement construction …

Marl soils, with their low bearing capacity, are widely distributed around the world.
Stabilising by way of lime or cement additives is common for these soil types to enhance …

Freeze–thaw cycles can deteriorate the expansive soil performance. Phase change
materials (PCMs) absorb and store heavy latent heat from the environment, which can be …
