The purpose of this paper is to review the development and the state of the art in desiccation
cracking characterization methods and review the desiccation cracking behaviors of soils …

Concrete industry consumes considerably large quantities of natural resources in addition to
generating toxic gases, such as CO 2, in the atmosphere. In order to achieve more …

Thermal cycles can remarkably alter the geological and resistance properties of soil beneath
structures. This research examined the effect of simultaneous use of glass fiber and nano …

This study reports the synthesis and potential application of biocompatible silica
nanoparticles for subgrade soil stabilization. Nanosilica preparation as a major component …

Compacted clay possesses a low water permeability and has been widely used in geo-
environmental facilities such as landfill cover systems. Recent studies revealed the potential …

Biochar amended clay layer has emerged as a sustainable hydraulic barrier for hazardous

In this paper, we explore the mechanical performance of colloidal silica grout to assess its
potential for ground stabilisation and hydraulic barrier formation during decommissioning of …

Improving the performance of loess is of significant importance for lowering its collapsibility
and water sensitivity to construction requirements and for geohazard mitigation. The present …

Soft clays are susceptible to uneven settlement due to its higher tendency of swelling and
shrinkage which could damage the structures. To prevent such damages various soil …

Soil stabilization is essential to improve the undesirable geotechnical properties of soil. This
study presents using nanoclay and nanosilica to improve the geotechnical properties of …
