Among the various types of polymeric materials, geosynthetics deserve special attention. A
geosynthetic is a product made from synthetic polymers that is embedded in soils for various …

Laterite soil is commonly used as a fill or pavement material. However, it tends to lose its
natural bonding and experiences large deformation when subjected to cyclic rainy (wet) and …

Desiccation cracking results in deterioration of soil properties, accelerates infiltration of
water in soil, increases settlement and reduces the strength of soil. Soil stabilization has …

X‐ray diffraction (XRD) technique was adopted to test the mineral composition of quicklime‐
solidified loess with different lime‐adding rates at different curing periods. Scanning electron …

One of the key challenges geotechnical engineers face is the failure of embankments due to
internal soil erosion. Therefore, soil stabilization against internal erosion becomes …

Waste generated during the cutting and processing of stones is a severe environmental
problem. Using waste materials in civil engineering applications is beneficial for sustainable …

Assessment of pozzolanic activity of an alternative material is a key parameter for its
application as a cementitious material. This study has been conducted to check the scope of …

This study investigated improving black cotton soil, known for poor construction qualities, by
mixing it with lime kiln dust (LKD) and sand. Lab tests analyzed how these additives …

Loess is a collapsible soil; when it collapses, it can cause significant damage to structures
built on it. Improvement in the stability and strength performance of loess is necessary to …

Marine soils are prone to cracking and shrinkage during drying. Various infrastructure
facilities constructed on marine soils may experience safety and stability issues due to …
