Clay soils can cause significant distress in road construction due to their low strength.
Stabilizing such soil improve with binder agents prior to the geotechnical works can …

The geotechnical properties of Polyacrylamide (PAM) mixed with a type of local soil called
silty soil are discussed in this study. First, five mixed variations of PAM (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6 …

When a material is subjected to cyclic loading, there are changes in the material's
geomechanical behaviour that need to be characterized for a safe design. For unbounded …

Using hydrated lime [Ca (OH) 2] in the stabilization of clayey soils has been a common
engineering practice over the last decades due to its proven efficiency and practicability …

This paper presents the potential of polyacrylamide (PAM) polymer to reduce cracking
during wetting-drying cycles. Several experiments have been conducted to investigate PAM …

The present study investigated the dynamic and durability characteristics of silty-sand
mixture treated with cement and mineral polymer. Tests were conducted on treated and …

Laterite soils are highly permeable and make the foundation unsuitable construction.
Foundation is a significant structural element which play a key role in safety and stability of …

Numerous techniques are available to improve soils characterized by inadequate shear
strength, bearing capacity, and other swelling parameters, which can jeopardize the stability …

The increasing industrialization and urbanization in recent times has led to a significant
increase in heavy metal pollution in soil and sediment. The present study aims to evaluate …

The existence of soluble salts in granular materials of highway pavements has become a
widely spread problem in Iraq. This research is performed to evaluate the influence of …
