This study aims to assess the suitability of micro-silica (MS) as an industrial waste to modify
the hydro-mechanical behavior of expansive soil in comparison with the use of lime as a …

Pavement construction tends to be relatively expensive in areas where subgrade soil is
poor. Improvement in soil properties by replacement of the poor subgrade soil may not …

Expansive soils are being a source of risk to the population since it finally causes heavy
economic losses, great damage to buildings and infrastructure. Current study focused on the …

Damages and economical losses due to problematic soils have caused researchers to
conduct many studies for the stabilization of these soils within years. Especially, the use of …

Os solos expansivos sofrem variações volumétricas em decorrência da variação da
umidade, e por esse motivo, o seu comportamento varia ao longo do ano em função dos …

Subgrade soil plays an important role in road structural design; therefore, poor subgrade soil
may cause insufficient support for the pavement and may reduce its life. The poor properties …

O solo, muitas vezes não apresenta as propriedades adequadas para suportar as cargas
impostas, tendo-se a necessidade de realizar o seu melhoramento para satisfazer os …

The use of appropriate waste materials to stabilize problematic soils, such as expansive
soils that are responsible for geotechnical damage, is a common practice in geotechnical …

Octadecylamine was used as a primary water repellent and mixed into the remodeled
expansive soil, and modified expansive soils with different water contents and …
