Evaluation of the expansive and collapsible potential of soils from the Jandaíra Formation: A case study in an urbanized area in Mossoró – RN

Study of the Geomechanical Behavior of a Compacted and Undisturbed Tropical Residual Soil from the Barreiras Formation in Bananeiras, PB

Mechanical and numerical evaluation of expansive soils for flexible road pavement stabilization using sugarcane bagasse ash and lime

The expansive, highly swelling clay soils, which have low bearing capacity, result in damage to flexible pavements. Utilizing locally available waste materials to develop low-cost, sustainable stabilizers improves the engineering properties of the subgrade. Laboratory-strength enhancement, establishing links between ma...

Study of the Hydromechanical Behavior of Collapsible Soils in The Ghardaïa Region, Algeria

The rapid growth of the population has resulted in extensive land use and a notable expansion of construction activities on problematic soils. Arid and semi-arid regions in southern Algeria have witnessed significant urbanization and infrastructure development. These areas are generally characterized by unsaturated sur...

Regional characterization and the influence of mineralogy on the swelling of lime-treated expansive soils

The expansive soils pose significant challenges in geotechnical engineering due to their tendency to swell when wet and shrink when dry. They present serious issues and challenges to light structures and pavements. Treatment using hydrated lime is one of the stabilization techniques that is widely used to improve the p...

Geotechnical Evaluation of the Influence of Saltwater Intrusion on the Shear Strength Properties of Coastal Soils: A Case Study of Ikot Abasi L.G.A.

Saltwater intrusion can significantly alter the geotechnical properties of coastal soils, with implications for infrastructure stability and environmental management. This study investigated the effects of salinity on the shear strength parameters of coastal soils in Ikot Abasi Local Government Area, Nigeria....

Comparative Assessment of Lime–Fly Ash Stabilization of Expansive Soil for Pavement Subgrades: A Secondary-Data Study

Expansive soils create significant challenges in pavement construction because of their high plasticity, low bearing capacity and moisture-induced swelling and shrinkage. Sustainable stabilization using industrial by-products such as fly ash, particularly in combination with lime, provides a potential alternative to co...
