Volume instability of expansive soils due to moisture fluctuations is often disastrous, causing
severe damages and distortions in the supported structures. It is, therefore, necessary to …

Expansive soils are problematic due to the performances of their clay mineral constituent,
which makes them exhibit the shrink-swell characteristics. The shrink-swell behaviours …

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

Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) has attracted increasing attention as a bio-
inspired technique that can be employed in-situ for ground improvement. One of the …

Fly ashes produced by power plants in the United States occasionally contain significant
amounts of unburned carbon due to common use of low nitrogen-oxide and sulphur-oxide …

The practice of treating soil with fly ash and lime is an attractive technique when the project
requires improvement of the local soil for the construction of stabilized bases under …

A sustainable solution to utilize the paper/wood industry waste as a construction material is
presented in this article. A novel technique of coupling lignosulphonate (LS) with hydrated …

Illitic clays are used for brickmaking worldwide. This paper explores the feasibility of using
these clays unfired, to lower the environmental impact of construction. The results suggest …

An experimental program was undertaken to investigate the effects of discrete
polypropylene fibers and Class C fly ash on the stress–strain and shear strength behavior of …

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the long-term performance of fly ash
stabilized two fine-grained soil subbases. One low plasticity clay soil and one high plasticity …
