Expansive soils are problematic and susceptible to ground movements, causing significant
damage to overlying structures and reduction of bearing capacity. Geotechnical engineering …

Since unsaturated soil conditions are normally experienced above the groundwater table,
most treated or stabilised soils for roadworks, earth dams' embankments, landfill sites …

The mechanical performances and water retention characteristics of clays, stabilised by
partial substitution of cement with by-products and inclusion of a nanotechnology-based …

Silt has a poor geotechnical performance. In this study, an investigation on silt solidification
was performed by incorporating lime, mixture of lime and cement (LC), and a self-developed …

The one-dimensional (1-D) potential heave (or swell strain) of expansive soil is
conventionally estimated using the swelling pressure and swelling index values that are …

Two expansive soils were studied from a microscopic point of view to better understand the
physicochemical, mineralogical, and microstructural changes that occur during Class C Fly …

The determination of water holding capacity variations with environmental conditions, in
particular relative humidity (suction), is essential in the assessment of the behaviour of …

Unsealed roads are an important asset providing the necessary connections between
regional and metropolitan regimes of a country. However, these roads are affected by …

The investigation of the hydromechanical behavior of unsaturated expansive soil depends
on the determination of hysteretic soil water characteristic curves (HSWCCs). This research …

A novel statistical framework was developed to quantify the variability of the fitting
parameters of the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC). Reliable estimation of the mean …
