Atterberg limits are not appropriate for peat soils
(2015)
This paper reports on the challenges associated with the determination of the Atterberg limits for peat, fundamental
issues regarding the appropriateness of Atterberg limit concepts applied to peat and peaty soils and ...
Stabilization of sand with colloidal nano-silica hydrosols
(2020)
Colloidal nano-silica (NS) hydrosols are electrochemically stabilized, polymerized amorphous silica in low viscosity solutions, and in the form of hydrated gels, silica globules or pellicles.Compared to applications ...
Appraisal of novel power-based extrusion methodology for consistency limits determinations of fine-grained soils
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland, 2022)
The consistency limits (liquid limit LL and plastic limit PL) are among the most commonly performed tests in geotechnical engineering practice, being used for classification of fine-grained soils and in deducing other ...
Improved geotechnical behavior of an expansive soil amended with tire-derived aggregates having different gradations
(2020)
This experimental laboratory study examines the potential use of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) products as an additive to alleviate the inferior geotechnical properties of a subgrade deposit of clay soil with high ...
Effect of chitin, chitosan and NaCMC biopolymers on the consistency limits of organic silt
(2024)
With global concerns on carbon emissions, there is increased need for various eco-friendly alternatives to conventional
(cement and lime) additives used in ground improvement applications. This paper investigates the ...
Cyclic swell–shrink behaviour of an expansive soil treated with a sulfonated oil
(2022)
The effects of a sulfonated oil (SO) stabiliser on the swell–shrink properties of an expansive soil were investigated through cyclic wetting–drying tests. The cyclic wetting–drying action led to the reconstruction of the ...
