Predicting the time rate of consolidation is one of the major aspects of structure design,
founded on compressible fine-grained soil. The time to achieve the required advancement of …

Si is one of the most abundant element on earth and an abundant literature shows its
beneficial effects on plant growth and resistance. We here question the influence of termites …

In this work, clay located in Lake Chad Basin, were collected and investigated for their
physical, chemical, mineralogical and firing characteristics to evaluate their potential …

More than 500 datasets from the literature have been used to evaluate the relationships of
specific surface area (SSA), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and activity versus the liquid …

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the effect of salinity on Atterberg
limits, flowability, viscosity and strength properties of cement-stabilized clay minerals. Three …

It is known that the standards suggest classifying fine-grained soils by incorporating different
amounts and types of clays based on their plasticity which is a function of the liquid and …

The interaction of kaolinite and water has been extensively investigated by scholars in
geomechanics and high-pressure physics fields. As well known, the effects of pressure on …

The factors influencing the engineering properties of fine-grained soils are the consistency
limits, defined as primary properties, and water content, density and soil structure defined as …

This paper presents details of an experimental study employing the solidification/
stabilization (S/S) technique to treat zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) contaminated marine clay using …

This study investigates the effect of porewater salinity on the compression behaviors of soft
marine clay with multi-mineral compositions. A series of one-dimension compression tests …
