This paper provides a review of the research on use of polymers for soil stabilization in
pavement and geotechnical engineering. First, the properties impacting the effectiveness of …

Expansive soils are problematic soils which pose a risk to the safety of civil engineering
structures. These soils can be treated by compaction or by adding additives to the soil …

Scarcity of traditional construction materials has motivated researchers to explore
alternatives, and besides crushed glass, reclaimed asphalt pavement, and scrap tires, to …

Polyurethane (PU) is increasingly adopted as grouting materials in the non-excavation
rehabilitation of infrastructures. The compressive strength of PU materials is the key to …

Cement-based grouting materials have high compressive strengths, but they are brittle. The
low strain burden limits their rehabilitation application in the high compressive strain …

A selected commercially available sulphonated oil (SO) and a polymer were evaluated for
use as soil stabilizers in a laboratory-based investigation. Two naturally occurring soils …

Micaceous soils are common in many tropical countries and regions, and in some locations
with moderate climate. The soils are spongy and unstable when loaded and are not …

Presently, there is strong consensus that significant temperature and weather changes are
fast approaching as a result of climate change. Pavements will be significantly affected by …

The efficiency of a commercially manufactured sulphonated oil (SO) agent in treating a
highly expansive soil was investigated through an extensive experimental program. A total …

Polymer grouting materials are widely used in the field of trenchless rehabilitation of
infrastructure, and their properties are closely related to the crosslinking process and …
