Sabkha soil is a saline soil that covers large areas in arid and semi-arid regions. It has a low
bearing capacity and experiences significant settlement when moistened, making it a …

Compared to the traditional drainage consolidation measures for soft ground improvement,
the siphon-vacuum drainage method (SVD) offers more advantages, for example, improved …

The adjusted porosity/cement index η/(C iv) a has proved its effectiveness in modelling the
strength and stiffness of a variety of artificially cemented soils. In this regard, by establishing …

The increasingly strong search for alternative materials to Portland cement has resulted in
the development of alkali-activated cements (AAC) that are very effective at using industrial …

Improvement of granular soils' mechanical properties can be achieved by the addition of
bonding agents. In this research, low amount of Portland cement was added to a sand, and …

Based on the discrete element method and the centrifugal similarity theory, Particle Flow
Code PFC2D was employed to establish numerical models of soil for compressed shallow …

Residual soils are found all around the world. Their behaviour is different from 'classic'soils
due to the structure resulting from the geological formation processes, which can eventually …

Weak soil characteristics pose a significant challenge for geotechnical engineers when
designing the foundations of a structure. Consequently, researchers resort to improving the …
