The stabilisation of expansive clay subgrades using recycled glass (RG) was proposed, as a
sustainable ground improvement technique. Previous studies mainly focused on using RG …

Expansive soil is blamed for many engineering problems such as foundation damages,
subgrade heave, and road surface bulking. Lime is one of the most widely utilized materials …

The swelling and collapse behaviors of expansive soils cause significant damage to light
infrastructures such as pavements. This study investigates the swell-collapse behavior of …

Limited supplies of natural aggregates for backfilling pipeline trenches in trafficable areas
have led to considering secondary resources. Utilizing blends entirely made of recycled …

The present experimental study is focused on quantifying the initiation and propagation of
desiccation cracking and strain localization in lime-treated compacted expansive soils …

In practice, it is quite common for soils to be mixed and compacted at moisture contents
lower than the optimum moisture content (OMC) or lime content less than the optimum lime …

Studies have examined the environmental impacts of soil stabilization; however, the costs of
distinct dosages in such methods remain unexplored. Indeed, it is not yet clear whether …

In nature, expansive soil is generally in a state of swelling during rainfall, and its soil–water
characteristic curve (SWCC) exhibits a three-dimensional space shape under the action of …

To explore an effective method for deformation monitoring and behavior prediction of
expansive soil slope, field tests are conducted for a flexible slope protection scheme with …

Insufficient understanding of the stress-strain behavior of pavements built over backfilled
trenches, particularly with recycled aggregates, often leads to over-design or over …
