Previous prediction models for soil compaction parameters were developed using limited
data of specific soils and their accuracy also needs to be improved. This study presents the …

The results of experimental work on three non-standard granular materials used in road
construction are presented. Small strain precision triaxial tests under cyclic loading and …

Microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), a sustainable and effective soil
improvement method, has experienced a burgeoning development in recent years. It is a bio …

The results of an experimental study on non-standard road granular materials are
presented, including small strain precision triaxial tests under cyclic loading and wetting …

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of suction on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a
partially saturated soft rock (a porous chalk) under low confining stress. Such conditions …

The current experimental research aims to valorise two Saharan soils (dune sand and tuff)
for pavement purposes in arid zones. A mixture of 65% tuff and 35% dune sand (named …

Soil tensile strength is a critical parameter governing the initiation and propagation of tensile
cracking. This study proposes an eco-friendly approach to improve the tensile behavior and …

This study aims to develop an intelligent modeling approach for accurately predicting
compaction characteristics of cohesive soils across compaction energy (CE) levels. A …

This research presents a comprehensive investigation on the impact of initial imposed
suction both on the applied tensile force and the cracking phenomenon of unsaturated …

In the context of valorizing local materials at Saharan region for road constructions, a mixture
composed of 65% tuff and 35% dune sand (named 65T35DS) was previously studied. The …
