Abstract: Expansive soils exhibit shrink–swell characteristics due to the presence of clay mineral constituent. Often such soils are stabilized using chemical stabilizers. This study examined the potential application of calcium-based ...

Abstract: The response and the safety of geostructures constructed on hilly regions or sloping grounds are receiving increased attention. As the foundation of geostructures resting on slopes is often in the vadose zone, accounting ...

Abstract: Stress state is a significant factor influencing the features of the soil–water retention curve (SWRC) under realistic in-situ conditions. The SWRC under different stress state conditions can be evaluated through experimental ...

Abstract: In this study, limit equilibrium-based semianalytical solution has been developed to compute the distribution of active pressure and the magnitude and point of application of the total active thrust resulting from unsaturated ...

Abstract: In this study, the behavior of soft clay improved with a conductive jute geotextile-encased stone column was investigated, considering the effects of electrokinetic coupling. The study findings suggest that electrokinetic-coupled ...

Abstract: Geogrids with triangular apertures are increasingly being used as a reinforcement element in various geotechnical structures because of their characteristics to offer uniform resistance in all directions. In the present ...

Abstract: Field load tests are carried out on a single pile and piled-raft foundation (PRF) consisting of a 2 × 2 pile group with consideration of the time effect. The piles along with the raft in the PRF have been instrumented with ...
