This study evaluates the effects of post-compaction wetting–drying (WD) process, freeze–
thaw (FT) cycles and cement content (CC) on the microstructure, volumetric strain (ε v), soil …

For practical deployment of lime-stabilized subgrade in the engineering field, laboratory and
field-based pavement design studies highlight the significance of simpler preparation and …

This study aims to investigate the long-term and immediate effects of freeze-thaw (FT) cycles
on the resilient modulus (MR) of two different expansive subgrades before and after lime …

Dynamic resilient modulus is the design index of highway subgrade design code in China,
which is significantly affected by the traffic loads and environmental changes. In this study …

Light structures, roads, and pavements in semi-arid regions suffer from frequent damage
due to expansive subsurface soils subjected to frequent wetting and drying. This research …

Robust design of pavement sections underlain by high-plasticity subgrade soils requires
determination of subgrade resilient modulus over a wide range of suction to account for …

Abstract Development of unconfined compression strength (UCS) and resilient modulus
(MR) of chemically treated soil was investigated. Test samples were cured at room …

Water content is one of the significant factors that affect the stability and stiffness property of
the subgrade soils. Under changing environmental conditions such as raining and drought …

Pavements and light structures constructed on expansive subgrade layers have
experienced severe damage due to volume changes. These layers have been exposed to …
