Expansive soils, also known as swell-shrink soils, are one of the most problematic soils in
highway construction and exhibit significant volume changes by swelling and shrinking …

This study presents the development of new empirical prediction models to evaluate swell
pressure and unconfined compression strength of expansive soils (P s UCS-ES) using three …

Plastic sand paver blocks (PSPB) provide a sustainable alternative by reprocessing plastic
waste and decreasing reliance on environmentally hazardous materials such as concrete …

The marble process industry from Shaq Al‐Thouban region, which is located in East Cairo,
Egypt, produces a huge amount of marble wastes every day during the cutting and …

One potentially dangerous byproduct of marble-cutting plants is fine marble dust (FMD),
which must be disposed of carefully. Its advantageous use as a building material will …

The characteristics of expansive soil, including over consolidation, swelling‐shrinkage,
fissures, and strength attenuation, can cause potential hazards in road construction, which …

This study aims to assess the suitability of micro-silica (MS) as an industrial waste to modify
the hydro-mechanical behavior of expansive soil in comparison with the use of lime as a …

The disposal of massive waste soils is troublesome during urban excavation projects, which
is commonly dumped temporarily and transported to the suburban landfills. Meanwhile …

Mining industries around the world produce massive amounts of solid waste that has
potential environmental impacts. Therefore, it is necessary to explore alternative solutions to …

The recycling of waste marble powder (MP) for soil stabilization is still under research for
geotechnical engineers, with the aim of improving poor soil properties. This paper …
