Discussion of ?Physio-chemical properties, consolidation, and stabilization of tropical peat soil using traditional soil additives ? a state of the art literature review? by Afnan Ahmad, Muslich Hartadi Sutanto, Mohammed Ali Mohammed Al-Bared, Indra Sati Hamonangan Harahap, Seyed Vahid Alavi Nezhad Khalil Abad, Mudassir Ali Khan
(2022)This discussion article provides commenting on the sections of the review paper by Ahmad et al. (the authors) concerning consistency limits determinations for peats and peaty soils, drawing on the writer’s experiences ... -
Discussion: A fuzzy classification process for swelling soils [Transp. Infrastruct. Geotechnol. 10(3), 474-487]
(2024)This communication article presents a discussion of various fundamental points pertaining to the Toksöz Hozatlıoğlu and Yılmaz (2023) (the Authors) investigation [published in Transp. Infrastruct. Geotechnol. 10(3), 474–487], ... -
Discussion: A novel formula for the prediction of swelling pressure of compacted expansive soils
(2020)Recently, Elsaidy et al. (2019) have proposed a novel empirical model–that is, equation (6) in the original manuscript–for the prediction of the one-dimensional swelling pressure of compacted expansive soils. A total of ... -
Discussion: Development of a single-point method to determine soil plastic limit using fall¿cone data [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473-4485, 2023]
(2024)This discussion article presents a critical appraisal of three empirical correlations developed via multiple regression analysis and presented in the Kayabali et al. [Geotech Geol Eng 41:4473–4485, 2023. https://doi.org/ ... -
Discussion: Effects of plastic waste materials on geotechnical properties of clayey soil [DOI: 10.1007/s40515‑020‑00145‑4]
(2023)The paper under discussion (by Hassan et al. (2021)) presents a comprehensive set of experimental results from standard geotechnical laboratory tests performed on a low-plasticity clay soil (CL) amended with between 1% and ... -
Discussion: The effect of surface roughness and shear rate during fall-cone calibration
(2022)The fall-cone test is one of the most popular methods used to characterise fine-grained soils. Traditionally, the fall-cone has been used to determine the liquid limit. However, the undrained shear strength of a given soil ... -

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 ... -
Effects of cement kiln dust on physicochemical and geomechanical properties of loess soil, Semnan Province, Iran
(2022)For problematic soils, conventional (cement and lime) additives can provide the necessary improvements in geomechanical properties for various infrastructure constructions. However, these additives have a high environmental ... -
Engineering reactive clay systems by ground rubber replacement and polyacrylamide treatment
(2019)This study investigates the combined performance of ground rubber (GR), the additive, and polyacrylamide (PAM), the binder, as a sustainable solution towards ameliorating the inferior geotechnical attributes of an expansive ... -
Environmental geotechnics for peatland management and restoration
(2019)Peatlands are dynamic eco-hydrological wetland systems, increasingly under threat worldwide due to natural and anthropogenic effects, including large-scale drainage and oxidation, causing their subsidence and ... -
Environmental geotechnics: challenges and opportunities in the post-COVID-19 world
(2021)The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic not only has created a health crisis across the world but is also expected to impact negatively the global economy and societies at a scale that is maybe ... -
Enzymatic-induced calcite precipitation (EICP) method for improving hydraulic erosion resistance of surface sand layer: a laboratory investigation
(2023)As a bio-inspired calcite precipitation method, bio-grouting via enzymatic-induced calcite precipitation (EICP) uses free urease enzyme to catalyze the urea hydrolysis reaction. This soil stabilization approach is relatively ... -
Fallacy of wide undrained strength range at the Casagrande liquid limit
(2019)The liquid limit (LL), as originally proposed by Atterberg, is notionally the water content below which fine-grained soil ceases to flow as a liquid. In many countries, the Casagrande-cup approach is the standard procedure ...
