Increased application of engineered nano particles (ENPs) in production of various
appliances and consumer items is increasing their presence in the natural environment …

The traditional soil stabilization techniques, which primarily include calcium-rich additives,
are gradually replaced by environmentally friendly techniques as the former increases the …

Compacted clay is widely used as capillary barriers in landfill final cover system. Recently,
biochar amended clay (BAC) has been proposed as a sustainable alternative cover …

Compacted clay possesses a low water permeability and has been widely used in geo-
environmental facilities such as landfill cover systems. Recent studies revealed the potential …

Halloysite nanotubes are novel 1D natural nanomaterials which are widely used in
reinforcing polymer, adsorbents for pollution remediation, and nanoreactors for biocatalyst; …

Due to the special soil-forming environment and process, grain-size distribution, and mineral
composition, loess has some poor engineering properties, such as high compressibility …

Improving the performance of loess is of significant importance for lowering its collapsibility
and water sensitivity to construction requirements and for geohazard mitigation. The present …

Soft clays are susceptible to uneven settlement due to its higher tendency of swelling and
shrinkage which could damage the structures. To prevent such damages various soil …

Landfilling is one of the most widely used methods to reduce the impact on the environment
and human health by ensuring the management of solid wastes. For the process in question …

Severe climatic and environmental conditions warrant the use of stabilization agents in aid
of compaction for sustainable improvement in engineering properties of clays …
