Problematic soils with high compressibility and low shear strength are often treated with
traditional chemical stabilizing additives such as cement and lime to improve their …

Loess soils are aeolian deposits of primarily silt sized soil particles, which are often lightly
cemented. The wind-blown depositional process of loess formation yields a relatively loose …

This paper reports the results of an exploratory experimental study to manufacture eco-
friendly lightweight bricks through binary mix of paper mill sludge (PMS) and soil. The pre …

This study presents geotechnical characteristics of a low-plasticity clay improved by xanthan
gum biopolymer, which is an innocuous microbially induced polymer with high tensile …

Chemical stabilization is commonly used to improve engineering properties of problematic
soils. This study investigates the possibility of using calcium carbide residue (CCR), a by …

Stabilization of problematic soils for earthwork applications can be performed using a variety
of chemical additives, with lime, cement, or fly ash all being traditionally employed for this …

A laboratory study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the stabilization effectiveness
of different percentages (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10%) of quick and hydrated lime when applied …

Biogeotechnology is a recently established branch of geotechnical engineering, associated
with the practical uses of microbiological techniques to improve the engineering properties …

Chemical stabilization of clays is commonly used to improve unfavorable engineering
properties. Though the effects of non-traditional additives on soil improvement have been …

Although the effects of chemical additives on the geotechnical properties of soils have been
investigated in recent years, the strength properties and micro-structural characteristics of …
