Clay soils can exhibit excessive swelling due to changes in water content. The clay swelling
threatens the long-term stability of structures and foundations, thus an accurate prediction of …

Soil comprises the five primary chemical oxides: silica, alumina, calcium, magnesia, and
ferric. The proportions of these oxides significantly influence the geotechnical characteristics …

Soil swelling is one of the major causes of structural failure, due to excessive moisture
saturation and desaturation moisture. In situ measurement of swelling stress is somewhat …

Several attempts have been made for estimating the vital swelling index parameter
conducted by the expensive and time-consuming Oedometer test. However, they have only …

The swelling potentiality is a vital property of fine-grained soils strictly related to the index
properties and chemical composition. The integration of machine learning techniques and …

Municipal solid waste (MSW) compressibility is normally a challenging task to study because
it is affected by several parameters that are not easy to simulate in the laboratory. Here, a …

Soils are the most used construction materials in engineering projects, such as
embankments, highways, and railways, in which huge amounts of soil are required …

In this study, the relationship between four expansion indices and the expansion potential of
gypsum rock was studied; on this basis, a criterion for judging expansion potential is …

Gypseous soils are soils that contain sufficient quantities of gypsum that are considered
collapsible soil. The present study's objective is to predict the shear strength parameters (c …

Gypsum soils suffer from engineering problems of collapse, which occurs when an increase
in moisture causes significant soil deformation in the constructions. There is no sufficient …
