Calcium‐based stabilizer materials (CSMs) exhibit pozzolanic properties which improve the
properties of clayey soils by hydration, cation exchange, flocculation, pozzolanic reaction …

The use of natural materials has become more important as a result of the growing need to
conserve energy, exploit renewable materials, and incorporate architecture and construction …

Dredged sediment is complex material composed of mineral phases, organics phases, and
liquid phases. For the characterization of sediment in the laboratory, the material should be …

Mechanical behavior of residual soils are studied by performing constant water content
direct shear tests on reconstituted specimens using total stress analysis. The testing …

Abstract The 6.7 M w Eastern Iburi earthquake of 6 September 2018 triggered destructive
landslides in southern Hokkaido, Japan, many of which were characterized by the flow-like …

This study focuses on the effects of drying on consistency limits. To observe the drying
effects, samples for Atterberg limits were prepared (i) by starting from in situ moisture content …

Landslides are common type of natural hazards around the world. Every year, hundreds of
landslides are induced by rainfall in Rize. These landslides are shallow failures, generally …

This manual presents procedures for performing advanced laboratory tests on fine-grained
soils. It covers characterization tests, which determine soil composition and quantify the …

The volumetric change of expansive soil is considered as a challenge for civil engineers and
many methods were produced in order to stabilize such soils. In this study the enhancement …
