Earth is becoming increasingly popular as a building material to promote sustainability,
considering environmental impacts and economic aspects. Recent studies have focused on …

As a significant symbol of human civilization advancement, earth construction not only
inherits traditional architectural culture but also enjoys worldwide popularity and widespread …

This study presents the micro-physical investigation of polypropylene (PP) fiber-reinforced,
and silica fume (SF) stabilized expansive soil (BC) subgrade. The coupling effect of soil, PP …

The use of synthetic fibres as reinforcement to stabilise expansive soils is gaining
momentum. As a contribution towards this growing field of research two different types of …

The rapid development of infrastructure often encounters the loose subgrades and is
becoming difficult to carry to construction activities. Numerous counteracting methods are …

The development of reinforcement techniques in soils with various fibers has been a
common practice since the early days. Recently, fibers and materials considered waste are …

This study presents the experimental results of the effective utilization of polypropylene (PP)
fibre and silica fume (SF) to stabilize the expansive soil subgrade as a possible alternative …

Expansive soil shows dual swell–shrink which is not suitable for construction. Several
mitigating techniques exist to counteract the problem promulgated by expansive clayey …

Expansive soils are renowned for their swelling-shrinkage property and these volumetric
changes resultantly cause huge damage to civil infrastructures. Likewise, subgrades …

In this article, synthetic fibres in the presence of lime stabilisation are proposed as an
alternative to overcome the issues related to shrink-swell distress in expansive soils. Two …
