This paper presents a series of laboratory tests and evaluates the effect of polypropylene
fiber inclusion on volume change behavior and soil-water characteristics of expansive soils …

Abstract Effect of aging on swelling and swell-shrink behavior of a compacted expansive soil
is investigated in this paper. An expansive soil having a liquid limit of 100% is used for this …

Global concern about the environmental impacts of waste disposal and stringent
implementation of environmental laws lead to numerous research on recycled materials …

Engineered fills are enhanced by compaction to reduce compressibility and permeability. In-
situ application of shallow densification methods involve static method with the use of …

Lime stabilisation of expansive soils in arid and semi-arid regions exposes them to cycles of
wetting and drying due to seasonal climatic changes. Cyclic wetting and drying is known to …

Posidonia oceanica (PO) is the most plentiful seaweed of the Mediterranean Sea, which
grows all along the coastal areas, forming widespread meadows. The leaf rejuvenation …

Soil mechanics provides a theoretical framework for understanding the behaviour of soil in
relation to structures and the extent to which it is influenced by various natural and unnatural …

Laboratory experiments have shown that lime stabilization is effective in controlling the swell
potentials of expansive soils on first wetting. Expansive soils however experience repeated …

Expansive soils have damage light structures due to movement of soil which was a common
problem all around the world. Soils exhibiting expansive properties were common …

The swell potential is observed to progressively increase with cycles of wetting and drying in
a cemented clay derived from marine deposits of a Miocene formation. This is interpreted as …
