Low plasticity clays are found in abundance worldwide, exerting undue stresses on civil structures, road pavements and railway infrastructure, owing to the periodic settlement …
The stabilisation of expansive clay subgrades using recycled glass (RG) was proposed, as a sustainable ground improvement technique. Previous studies mainly focused on using RG …
Utilizing natural expansive clays that are available on-site as sewer trench backfill can cause destructive deformations due to volume changes, which are caused by seasonal …
The swelling and collapse behaviors of expansive soils cause significant damage to light infrastructures such as pavements. This study investigates the swell-collapse behavior of …
