Reducing the erodibility of sandy soils engineered by cyanobacteria inoculation: a laboratory investigation
(2023)
Windblown and water-induced erosion cause substantial soil losses worldwide, especially for drylands. Any sustainable management program that increases soil organic matter and improves the stability of the crustal layer ...
Reverse extrusion test for fine-grained soil characterisation: internal flow pattern with ANN-enhanced particle tracking
(2023)
The reverse extrusion test involves one-dimensionally (1D) compressing a fine-grained soil
sample contained in a cup container of cross-sectional area A. The force Fe applied by the
loading platen causes extrusion of the ...
Geomechanical behaviour of uncemented expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads?clayey soil mixtures as lightweight fill
(2021)
Lightweight fill can be advantageous in embankment construction for the purposes ofreducing the (i) bearing pressures on the underlying soil foundation, (ii) destabilizing moments forconstructed earthen slopes, and (iii) ...
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 ...
Stabilization of a highly expansive soil using waste-tire-derived aggregates and lime treatment
(2022)
This study investigates the combined efficacy of waste-tire-derived aggregate (TDA) materials and hydrated lime on the compactability, compressive strength and swelling potential of a highly expansive soil from South ...
Improving internal erosion resistance of silty sand using additives
(2020)
Seepage-induced erosion, leading to piping, is one of the most common causes of failure for earth dykes, levees and dams. Various soil improvement (mixing) technologies can be employed to improve the internal erosion ...
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 ...
