Lignin is the second-largest plant polymer on Earth after cellulose. About 98% of lignin
produced in the papermaking and pulping industry is used for combustion heating or power …

Increasing use of the ground as a thermal reservoir is expected in the near future. Shallow
geothermal energy (SGE) systems have proved to be sustainable alternative solutions for …

Injection of silts is commonly used to improve unfavorable engineering properties. Though
the effects of traditional grouting materials on soil improvement have been investigated in …

Transportation infrastructure is essential to a nation's everyday life and economic activity.
Accordingly, pavement design and engineering are imperative to ensure safe, comfortable …

In this study, the relationship between the pore structure and macroscopic mechanical
characteristics of coarse-grained soils from mine dumps is explored under various freeze …

Strong weathering can lead to a weakening of soil structure; such an effect will have a
considerable impact on the long-term stability of compacted loess foundations or subgrade …

Natural aeolian sand has the characteristics of low cohesion and poor water stability. In
order to improve its crack resistance properties in the process of freeze-thaw cycles, PO 42.5 …

This study investigates the effect of waste zeolite (waste zeolite) and lime-waste zeolite
mixtures on swelling potential, mechanical, and durability performances of a high plasticity …

Freeze-thaw cycles have a significant negative effect on the engineering behaviour of soil in
cold regions. In this study, the compressive strength of stabilized, poorly graded sandy soil …

Seasonal frozen soil is widely distributed in China. The seasonal freeze-thaw (FT) process
of soil will adversely affect the safety and service life of the engineering structures in these …
