The purpose of this paper is to review the development and the state of the art in desiccation
cracking characterization methods and review the desiccation cracking behaviors of soils …

Soil stabilization is a technique to improve the engineering and geotechnical properties of
soils such as mechanical strength, permeability, compressibility, durability and plasticity …

Desiccation cracking is a common natural phenomenon in clayey soils, considerably
degrading their mechanical and hydraulic properties. Typical remediation methods are …

Expansive soils expand and lose their strength when wetted and shrink when dried, and this
makes a considerable volume change. Construction on expansive soils has made problems …

Calcium‐based stabilizer materials (CSMs) exhibit pozzolanic properties which improve the
properties of clayey soils by hydration, cation exchange, flocculation, pozzolanic reaction …

This study presents the micro-physical investigation of polypropylene (PP) fiber-reinforced,
and silica fume (SF) stabilized expansive soil (BC) subgrade. The coupling effect of soil, PP …

The traditional disposal methods of paper/wood industry raise serious environmental
concerns, thus, requires innovative and productive ideas to manage such waste. This article …

A sustainable solution to utilize the paper/wood industry waste as a construction material is
presented in this article. A novel technique of coupling lignosulphonate (LS) with hydrated …

This study was conducted on durability of the clayey-sand stabilized using the copper slag
(CS)-based geopolymer against wetting-drying (WD) cycles. In this investigation, the mix of …

Expansive soils exist in many countries worldwide, and their characteristics make them
exceedingly difficult to engineer. Due to its significant swelling and shrinkage characteristics …
