Dispersive soils are a common problematic soil that may pose engineering distress if not
adequately taken care of. On the other hand, the stabilization of problematic soils with waste …

Strengthening for buildings is considered a promising technique in civil engineering, as the
buildings may be exposed to various factors that make strengthening a necessity. One of the …

This study investigates using Sulfur-Free Lignin (SFL) as a stabilizer to reinforce soil for civil
engineering construction. To comprehensively evaluate the engineering performance of SFL …

This study investigates the feasibility and effect of poly (lactic) acid (PLA) on bitumen
modification. The chemical and physical properties were evaluated for the modified bitumen …

Soft clay soil spreads in Iraq and some countries globally; this type is usually with low
compressive strength. Therefore, soft clay shows problematic behaviors. Improving soft soil …

To improve the engineering performance of high-liquid-limit soil, lignin, a by-product of the
papermaking industry, was used. First, the influence of lignin content and curing age on the …

Large amounts of soluble salts in a soil enhance the soil sensitivity to changes in its
properties induced by changes in environmental conditions, such as easy dissolution in …

Expansive soil swells with water and shrinks with water loss, causing serious safety
problems for construction projects. This study emphasizes alkali-activated binder (NaOH …

Chemical stabilization is one of the most alternative methods using on soil stabilization with
various materials. In recent decades geopolymer has been attention from engineers and …
