RISState-of-the-Art Review on the Role of Fly Ashes in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Role of Gypsum in the Strength Development of Fly Ashes with Lime
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The strength of fly ash mixture often needs to be enhanced for its better utilization in geotechnical and environmental applications. Many fly ashes often improve their strength with lime but may not meet the requirements. ...
Effect of Fines Content on the Hysteretic Behavior of Water-Retention Characteristic Curves of Reconstituted Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the influence of fines content on the hysteretic behavior of water-retention characteristic curves (WRCCs) of reconstituted soil subjected to wetting and drying ...
Effect of Biopolymeric Stabilization on the Strength and Compressibility Characteristics of Cohesive Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Sustainable engineering discourages the use of conventional soil stabilizers such as lime and cement owing to their higher carbon emission rates. To address these challenges, many researchers considered biopolymer ...
Compressibility and Durability Characteristics of Protein-Based Biopolymer-Amended Organic Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current study investigated the efficacy of a protein-based biopolymer called casein for the modification of the primary and secondary compressibility characteristics and ability to resist sustained moisture attack in ...
Efficacy of Crustacean and Protein-Based Biopolymer Inclusion on the Strength Characteristics of Organic Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current study evaluated the potential of crustacean polysaccharide and protein-based biopolymers, namely, chitosan and casein, in ameliorating a low organic soil. The inclusion of these biopolymers will ensure the ...
Soil–Water Characteristic Curve and One-Dimensional Deformation Characteristics of Fiber-Reinforced Lime-Blended Expansive Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Soil reinforcement using synthetic fibers is a proven technique for enhancing engineering properties to meet the requirements of subgrade materials for pavement projects. The safe and economical design of fiber-reinforced ...
Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Biopolymer-Amended Soil as an Alternative Landfill Liner Material
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents our findings on the effect of adding biopolymers to locally available soil to form low-cost alternative landfill liner materials. Hydraulic conductivity is the key parameter for assessing the suitability ...
Leaching Test Protocols to Evaluate Contaminant Response of Nano-Calcium Silicate–Treated Tropical Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current study deals with the interaction of toxic metals with soils by conducting a series of leaching tests on four kaolinitic soils procured from locations with varying pollution levels, such as a pristine location, ...
Target Reliability-Based Design of Embankments Using Biopolymer-Modified Cohesive Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study evaluates the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) behavior of biopolymer-modified cohesive soil exposed to natural field conditions. Two biopolymers, xanthan gum (G1) and guar gum (G2), at dosages of 0.5, 1, ...
