Expansive soils swell when they absorb water and shrink by losing water. This process
causes significant volume changes in highly expansive clay soils. Clay soil foundations …

The one-dimensional (1-D) potential heave (or swell strain) of expansive soil is
conventionally estimated using the swelling pressure and swelling index values that are …

To predict the soil–water characteristic curve (ie SWCC) of natural and remoulded Malan
loess from soil physical properties, one-point methods for determining the SWCC that are …

To investigate the effect of the changes of the soil suction on volume changes, laboratory
experiments were conducted on pure bentonite and bentonite mixed with sand of proportion …

To investigate the effect of the changes in the soil suction on volume changes, expansion
index, swelling pressure, shear strength and the coefficient of permeability, small-scale …

Expansive soils are known to be a serious hazard to buildings and the infrastructure
industry. Saudi Arabia is located in a semiarid region where extremely dry expansive …

The ground surface and subsurface of green parks in arid and desert areas may be
subjected to desiccation as a result of weather and hot temperatures. It is not wise to wait …

Sand bentonite mixtures are used in liners for many geo-environmental and waste
containment applications. The gain in achieving appropriate hydraulic conductivity is …

Abstract The one-dimensional (1-D) potential heave (or swell strain) of expansive soil is
