The one-dimensional (1-D) potential heave (or swell strain) of expansive soil is
conventionally estimated using the swelling pressure and swelling index values that are …

Proper understanding of the field performance of lime-treated expansive soils requires the
evaluation of their unsaturated properties under stress conditions similar to that in the field …

The Atterberg limits are empirical indices of the critical water contents defining mechanical
states of soil-water mixtures between the semisolid state and plastic state (the plastic limit or …

Expansive soil is considered a potential natural hazard, which can cause extensive damage
to structures if not adequately treated. One of the mitigation techniques of such soil is to mix …

In expansive soil regions, engineering geological disasters frequently occur in wet–dry (WD)
environments, which are inseparable from the degradation of soil shear strength and …

To get a better understanding of failure mechanism of slopes in soils that exhibit expansive
characteristics subjected to any type of inundations, particularly, when the soils switch from …

The expansive soil and sand dunes are abundant in desert areas at which new cities have
been constructed. One of the effectively mitigation techniques for the expansive soil is to mix …

When cured in the field, unsaturated lime-treated expansive soils will undergo concurrent
development of lime cementation and suction stress. This study aims to assess the relative …

Pavements and light structures constructed on expansive subgrade layers have
experienced severe damage due to volume changes. These layers have been exposed to …

Abstract Formulation of unsaturated soil properties in a mathematical form is necessary for
the computational modeling of water flow in soil deposits. To achieve this objective, it is …
