Abstract: Lignin is an industrial by-product, stockpiles of which are rapidly increasing worldwide due to growing demand. Highway subgrade construction has been identified as one of the viable answers to consume huge quantities of ...

Abstract: Lignin is an organic industrial by-product, stockpiles of which are rapidly accumulating worldwide. A feasibility investigation was carried out with respect to the stabilization of silty soils using lignin. The fall cone ...

Abstract: AbstractBentonite-based mixtures are promising buffer materials for high-level radioactive waste repositories, but their performance can be affected by heat from decaying nuclear waste. This study investigated the swelling ...

Abstract: Abstract Unsaturated, densely compacted bentonite blocks, employed as the primary buffering material for high-level radioactive waste disposal, undergo long-term volumetric deformation upon contact with groundwater. ...

Abstract: AbstractRising sea levels driven by climate change may negatively impact expressway embankments near coastlines, with seawater exposure potentially altering their engineering characteristics and compromising traffic safety. ...
