Comprehensive review of geosynthetic clay liner and compacted clay liner
M. Uma Shankar,M. Muthukumar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the important geotechnical characteristics such as hydraulic conductivity, liquid limit and free swell index of geosynthetic clay liner and compacted clay liner based on research findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shrinkage Behaviour of GPA-Reinforced Expansive Clay Beds Subjected to Swell–Shrink Cycles
M. Muthukumar,B. R. Phanikumar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present experimental data on shrinkage of Granular Panchor-reinforced expansive clay beds, which are subjected to three swell-shrink cycles, each cycle monitoring swelling for 10 days and shrinkage for 90 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swelling behaviour of GPA-reinforced expansive clay beds subjected to swell-shrink cycles
B. R. Phanikumar,M. Muthukumar +1 more
TL;DR: Granular pile-anchor (GPA) technique has been found to be an innovative foundation technique for expansive clays posing the dual problem of swelling and shrinkage in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing heave of expansive clay beds through granular pile–anchor groups
B. R. Phanikumar,M. Muthukumar +1 more
TL;DR: The granular pile-anchor (GPA) foundation system, a more recent technique, has also been found to be quite successful in controlling heave of expansive clay beds as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of wetting–drying cycles on swell–shrink behaviour of GPA-reinforced expansive clay beds
B. R. Phanikumar,M. Muthukumar +1 more
TL;DR: Granular pile-anchor (GPA) technique is an innovative tension-resistant foundation technique which can effectively ward off the dual swell shrink problem posed by expansive clays as discussed by the authors.
