The moisture variations in expansive soils cause shrink-swell behaviour, resulting in distress
to the structures founded in/on problematic soils. The oedometer based tests can be used to …

Lime stabilisation is a commonly used method for improving the properties of expansive clay
subgrades around the world. This paper investigates the effect of curing on the behaviour of …

Cyclic action of wetting–drying (WD) is a main cause for the deterioration and failure of
expansive soil canals. This paper presents details of an investigation dealing with the …

Expansive soils exhibit swell-shrink behaviour in wet-dry periods resulting in distresses on
light-weight structures founded on/in them. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the climate …

Expansive behaviour of soil in response to moisture changes is a significant issue for lightly
loaded structures. Recent reports have shown more than 4000 houses in Victoria, Australia …

The field monitoring of the climatic-induced behaviour of the expansive soil has always been
difficult, expensive and time consuming. The uncontrollability of the field boundary …

The lateral swelling pressure (LSP) and vertical swelling of a highly expansive soil
supported by a retaining wall was studied. Experimental work was conducted by designing a …

Silty soil was widely used as filling soil materials for the replacement of expansive soil in
cold regions. This paper presents a straightforward approach for the effects of wetting-drying …

Expansive soils are found in most Australian states. In fact, it is estimated that 20% of surface
soils in Australia are categorized as moderate to highly expansive clays. Quaternary basalt …

The work presented in this thesis started in May 2014 as part of the Smart Water Fund
project: An Innovative Integrated Algorithm for Cost-Effective Management of Water Pipe …
