Acid—alkali pollution can lead to problems related to surrounding conditions, the health of
the earth, and changes in soil physical–mechanical properties and microstructure. However …

This study evaluates the use of rice husk ash (RHA)-eggshell lime (ESL) and RHA-
commercial lime (CL) as alternative binders for clayey soil stabilization, as well as the …

The current study examines the potential of lignosulfonate to enhance the engineering
behavior of two locally available expansive soils. The expansive soils were collected from …

Bio-mediated geotechnology refers to the technology that utilizes various types of microbial
processes to improve the hydro-mechanical behavior of soil and rock, aiming for the …

Water quality, particularly pH, is one of the most important factors that may significantly
influence soil physical and mechanical properties leading to damage of structures. This …

Purpose Large-scale railway construction has been extended to the polluted areas of the
Loess Plateau. The combined action of locomotive vibration and chemical dissolution of …

The hydraulic conductivity and chemical compatibility of bentonite slurry for grouting walls
were evaluated. Bentonite slurry of different concentrations and volumes was injected into …

Presence of swelling soils in the foundations may cause excessive damage to the buildings,
pavements and other lightweight structures due to its differential volume changes with the …

Inherent (fabric) anisotropy is one of the most important properties of earthen materials that
significantly influences their strength and stiffness characteristics. In this study, a …

The pH is often referred to as a significant characteristic of soils. Specifically, the pH of the
pore fluid affects the mechanical properties of clay, and this study investigated the effect of …
