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 ...
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 ...
Reappraisal of soil extrusion for geomechanical characterisation
(2019)
Reverse extrusion has been promoted over the past four decades for remoulded undrained shear strength (s u) measurement and consistency-limit determinations. The technique employs a uniaxial-compression test machine to set ...
Municipal solid waste management under COVID-19: challenges and recommendations
(2021)
Covid-19 is proving to be an unprecedented disaster for human health, social contacts and the economy worldwide. It is evident that SARS-CoV-2 may spread through municipal solid waste (MSW), if collected, bagged, handled, ...
