The geotechnical shortcomings observed in infrastructure projects, mainly arising from the
inadequate mechanical properties of weak soils, pose significant challenges that can lead to …

Polymer-modified bentonite has been widely used in vertical cutoff walls due to its good
barrier properties. This paper illustrates the changes in fissure development and …

This study presents the effect of high plasticity on swell potential, swelling pressure and
micro-structural characteristics of kaolinite-bentonite mixed clays. Five different mix ratios of …

The workability of fresh materials is critical for sand-bentonite-cement cut-off wall; however,
previous studies are limited to the one-phase construction method, not the two-phase …

To prevent heavy metal pollution, vertical cut-off walls made of cement soil are often used as
barriers. This article developed a cementitious material with a “low-carbon footprint”(alkali …

This paper showcases the geotechnical and environmental engineering properties of
ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS, a byproduct of iron-ore) admixed with local …

The ability of the compacted soils and treated/compacted soils to withstand loads as
foundation materials depends on the stability and durability of the soils. The design of such …

Nano-additives results in the formation of nano-cementation (NC). This process is recently
used to improve the durability of various building materials. NC used to improve the strength …

Warm and ice-rich frozen soil (WIRFS) exhibits lower shear strength due to the weak binding
forces between soil particles and ice crystals. To enhance the strength of WIRFS, frozen soil …

Phenomenal sea level rise is exacerbating the risk of seawater intrusion in coastal areas,
especially those with sandy soil, causing land erosion. Seepage cut-off walls made of in-situ …
