Expansive clays are present in many places across the world. They have an intrinsic volume
change that causes fractures, differential settlements, heaves, and damage to the overlaying …

Fly ash acquired from power stations causes removal challenges and environmental
concerns. Disposal concerns can be solved by employing these waste materials as a raw …

干湿变化是自然界中土体必然经历的过程, 对土体工程性质有重要影响. 系统掌握干/湿过程中土
结构演化特征, 对深入认识土体宏观力学性质有重要意义. 基于国内外大量文献资料 …

An open and indiscriminate disposal of coal fly ash causes extensive changes in
physicochemical properties of soil and water. Few studies propose that coal fly ash is a …

Structures founded on expansive soils experience large uplift pressure due to the high
swelling nature of these soils. In this investigation, an effort is taken to reuse the waste …

Understanding the microstructure of expansive soils is of vital importance in physical
interpretation and mechanical modeling of expansive soil behavior at the macro scale. To …

Expansive soil is predominantly impervious and exhibits dual nature (swelling/shrinkage)
when exposed to moisture fluctuation. It is difficult to control the heave action which renders …

Pavement construction tends to be relatively expensive in areas where subgrade soil is
poor. Improvement in soil properties by replacement of the poor subgrade soil may not …

Study on the microscopic structure of saline–alkali soil can reveal the change of its
permeability more deeply. In this paper, the relationship between permeability and …

Peat has been considered as an organics remnant that suffers decomposition process
throughout times under overburden pressure. Composition of peats normally consists of …
