Dumping of solid waste, its disposal and environment decay, eg the failure of road
pavements has raised serious concern to environmental experts and Geotechnical …

Compacted layers of expansive soils are used in different engineering projects, such as
subgrades, engineered clay barriers, and buffers for radioactive waste disposal. These …

Light structures, roads, and pavements in semi-arid regions suffer from frequent damage
due to expansive subsurface soils subjected to frequent wetting and drying. This research …

The volume changes associated with moisture or suction variation in expansive soils are of
geotechnical and geoenvironmental design concern. These changes can impact the …

Understanding the shear behaviors of expansive soils under a wide range of confining
pressures σ 3 is crucial for effectively managing their shallow hazards, especially at low σ 3 …

The liner layers of natural sand-clay mixtures are extensively used in a range of
geotechnical and geoenvironmental projects. In many of these projects, these layers are …

The major problematic soils in semi-arid regions include expansive soils and collapsible
soils. These two types of soils cause problems and are hazardous for buildings when …

This study aimed at evaluating the unsaturated shear strength of compacted sand-clay liner
for a wide range of suction. For this purpose, effective shear strength parameters were …

The hydromechanical behavior of expansive soils is one of the challenging topics in
geotechnical engineering. Direct measurements of unsaturated shear strength in the …

Shear strength (τ), shear stress (σ s) and slope angle (β) play a very important role in the
stability of any soil slope. This research investigates the slope stability of a soil slope to …
