Recently, several studies introduced alternative binders or waste-based geomaterials that
can be incorporated into the soil to enhance a parent soil's strength, durability, and stiffness …

Tensile cracks are the first failures to appear in shallow foundations and pavement layers.
Although cementing agents, such as cement, increase the tensile strength considerably …

The porosity/cement ratio (η/C iv) was employed in this research to study the evolution of
unconfined compressive strength (UCS or qu) and split tensile strength (STS or qt) of a silty …

Construction and demolition wastes (CDW) are a concern in urban areas, in addition, it is
well understood that soft soils are inappropriate for paving designs. Therefore, this paper …

Problematic soils, such as expansive clay-rich soils, need geological and geotechnical
assessments before commencing any construction project. The mineralogical composition of …

Mudstone soils (MS) are widely distributed in southern Taiwan and have an inherent
proclivity to geological damages and failures. However, the use of traditional and non …

The present investigation aims at improving the engineering properties of red earth by
incorporating quarry dust (QD) and analyze the results thus obtained by conducting a …
