Geotechnical investigation of low-plasticity organic soil treated with nano-calcium carbonate
(2023)
Soil stabilization using nanomaterials is an emerging research area although, to date, its investigation has mostly been laboratory-based and therefore requires extensive study for transfer to practical field applications. ...
3D deformation and strain fields in drying kaolinite obtained from tracking internal bubbles using X-ray CT and ANN
(2024)
Drying fine-grained sediments experience shrinkage and desiccation cracking that may dramatically alter their mechanical and hydraulic properties. This study adopts X-ray computed tomography (CT) to monitor the three-dimensional ...
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 ...
Determination of soil permeability coefficient following an updated grading entropy method
(2020)
This paper presents a critical review of the grading entropy approach of permeability-coefficient predictions (k P) for coarse-grained soils. The approach applies the grading entropy theory to particle-size distributions ...
Briefing: Water content determinations of peaty soils using the oven-drying method
(2022)
In order to prevent possible charring, oxidation and (or) vaporisation of substances other than pore water, many researchers have adopted oven-drying temperature (t) values in the range 60–90°C for water content determinations ...
Briefing: Specific gravity of solids relationship with ignition loss for peaty soils
(2020)
Peaty soils have an extremely high water content and a low specific gravity of solids (Gs) compared with most inorganic soils. Accurate knowledge of the Gs value allows void ratio computations for given water contents and ...
Comment on “A new approach to stabilization of calcareous dune sand”
(2023)
The Discussers read with interest the paper by Ghadr et al. (2022) (the Authors); the research topic being particularly important for various regions of the world regarding the main goals of dust suppression and wind-driven ...
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 ...
Review of recent developments and understanding of Atterberg limits determinations
(2021)
Among the most commonly specified tests in the geotechnical engineering industry, the liquid limit and plastic limit tests are principally used for (i) deducing useful design parameter values from existing correlations ...
