Even though the chemical stabilization is by far the most common ground improvement technique, very few studies have been conducted on the joint incorporation of two or more …
Microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a promising bio-cementation method that involves ureolytic bacteria to improve the geotechnical properties of soil. The laboratory …
Peat is a well-known problematic soil associated with poor engineering properties. Its replacement with an expensive competent foundation material is practiced for road …
A massive amount of industrial waste is readily available for civil engineering works. However, even a small amount can cause serious ecological problems. Global warming, on …
The use of cement as a soil stabilization agent is one of the common solutions to enhancing the engineering properties of soil. However, the impact and cost of using cement have …
Peat is a renowned problematic soil and needs stabilization to enhance its engineering properties. Silica fume (SF) and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) were extensively adopted …
Peat is formed by the degradation of plants and animals in the lack of oxygen and is widely known for its very weak geotechnical characteristics. This is the reason to be considered as …
