Nearly 150 million tons per year of waste rice husks are produced worldwide and get
accumulated due to underutilization. These waste rice husks have caused serious …

Soil improvement for engineering practice has been introduced for many years. The main
purpose is to help the soil meet the requirement of the specific engineering projects. Soil can …

Pavement construction tends to be relatively expensive in areas where expansive clay forms
the bulk of the alignment soil. The common practice in Kenya is to remove the undesirable …

The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of a stabilised soil is a major mechanical
parameter in understanding and developing geomechanical models, and it can be …

Rapidly growing urbanization and industrialization drive the continued development of soil
stabilization and ground improvement techniques. Rice husk ash (RHA) is widely regarded …

This work assessed the combined effect of wood ash a waste product from a bread bakery
and lime (calcium oxide) on the geotechnical properties of expansive soils collected from …

The using of wastes in the design of new binders for construction is the key for the success
of new developments regarding environmental, technical, and economic issues. Biomass …

Prediction of the free swell index of the expansive soil using artificial neural network has
been presented in this paper. Input parameters for the artificial neural network model were …

The investigation aims to check the effect of variation of gypsum and water content on the
engineering properties of expansive soil by different experiments, namely, mini compaction …

Expansive shale has been found extensively all over the world, especially in tropical and
sub-tropical regions. The ground heave that results from shale swelling potential is a multi …
