The hardfill embankments are composed of cemented sand-gravel (CSG) mixtures. In some
cases, however, sand and gravel used in the mixture contain fine-grained fraction. This …

The paper presents an experimental study on the compressibility, conductivity hydraulic (k
sat) shear strength, unconfined compressive strength, and unconfined tensile strength and …

Road construction is becoming increasingly important in marine and desert areas due to
population growth and economic development. However, the load carrying capacity of …

Tensile strength of soil is indeed one of the important parameters to many civil engineering
applications. It is related to wide range of cracks especially in places such as slops …

This research work examines the utilization of cement in order to improve low plasticity clay
soil. The soil samples treated with 2, 4 and 6% cement percents and cured for different …

Compacted sand–bentonite mixtures have been used as a good alternative hydraulic barrier
material to compacted clays. This study presents the results of a laboratory investigation on …

Le présent travail concerne une étude de valorisation des matériaux locaux de la région de
Lag-houat (région du sud de l'Algérie) à base de sable calcaire (sable concassé) et de tuf …

In the design construction of infrastructural projects comprised of geotechnical applications,
including composite soil fill layers, compacted sand-clay soil fills are widely preferred as …

About 71% of the earth surface is covered by water, in which ocean covers about 97% and
the remaining 3% is freshwater. Of this 3%, 69% is held in the form of glaciers and ice caps …

Long term records indicate that on-going global warming has resulted in the thawing of
some permafrost regions, which led to extensive geological disasters including slumps and …
