Abstract: This paper describes key research on expansive soils and the methods employed to characterize them; fallacies in the current characterization of expansive soils are also explained. Novel swell characterization models that ...

Abstract: Traditionally, the seepage through embankments and other geotechnical structures is estimated using the hydraulic properties of saturated soil. In most cases, the soil is not fully saturated, and the use of saturated soil ...

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: Mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide for flexible pavements as per the AASHTO design guide requires characterization of subgrade soils using the resilient modulus

Abstract: This paper discusses both design methodology and construction procedures for stabilizing expansive subsoils of moderate active depths, using deep soil mixing (DSM) technology/construction. These procedures were derived as ...

Abstract: The advantages of utilizing recycled materials/byproducts in pavement construction are numerous. The reduction in landfilling resulting from the adoption of recycled materials in large quanitites primarily promotes their ...

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 ...
