Abstract: Stabilization design guidelines based on soil plasticity properties have certain limitations. Soils of similar plasticity properties can contain different dominant clay minerals, and hence, their engineering behavior can ...

Abstract: A research attempt was made to design a controlled low-strength material (CLSM) mix that can be used as bedding and haunch material for a pipeline by using the native soil as fine aggregate. Several CLSM mix designs were ...

Abstract: In pipeline construction projects when high-plasticity clayey soils are encountered in the excavated trench material, they are typically landfilled and better quality materials are imported from outside quarry sources for ...

Abstract: The interdependency of microsoil fabric-related properties and swell/shrink behavior of expansive soils needs to be identified to achieve a more thorough and accurate prediction of heave of expansive soils. In a recent ...
