Freeze-thaw performance of a cement-treated expansive soil
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of adding cement to expansive soil was evaluated by focusing on the water loss, volume change, stress-strain response, unconfined compression strength, resilient modulus and strain at failure after a sequence of freeze-thaw cycles.

Swelling behaviour of expansive soils with recycled geofoam granules column inclusion
S. Selvakumar,B. Soundara +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an effort is taken to reuse the waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads to form geofoam granules column (GGC) and quantify the swelling behaviour of expansive soil with and without GGC inclusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freeze-thaw and wetting-drying effects on the hydromechanical behavior of a stabilized expansive soil
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of post-compaction wetting-drying (WD) process, freeze-thaw (FT) cycles and cement content (CC) on the microstructure, volumetric strain (ev), soilwater characteristic curve (SWCC), resilient modulus (MR), unconfined compressive strength (qu), and reloading modulus(E1%) and axial stress (Su1%) at 1% strain level of a cement-stabilized expansive soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation the performance of controlled low strength material made of excess excavated soil
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the feasibility of partially replacing the sand with excess excavated soil from construction sites in Shanghai to make controlled low-strength material (CLSM), and the experimental results revealed that increasing the soil content can reduce the strength, lower flowability and increase setting time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of influence factors including soil type (low and high fines content), NRL type, replacement ratio and cement content on the compressive strength prior to wetting and drying test (UCS0), cyclic wet-and-drying Compressive Strength (W-d)) and weight loss was examined in a study.

Effect of lime, cement and Sarooj (artificial pozzolan) on the swelling potential of an expansive soil from Oman
TL;DR: In this article, Al-Khod (Town in northern Oman) expansive soil was stabilized using lime, cement, combinations of lime and cement, Sarooj (artificial pozzolan) and heat treatment.

A quick test to determine lime requirements for lime stabilization
James L Eades,Ralph E Grim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the reaction of LIME and soil to changes in the PLASTICITY, SWELL, SHRINKAGE or COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH of the soil.

Expansive soils- the hidden disaster
D E Jones Jr,W G Holtz +1 more
TL;DR: For example, this article found that when they are dry, expansive soils are hard and strong, often badly cracking structures built on them, and walls may not be heavy enough to resist soil swelling (uplifting).

Impact of cyclic wetting–drying on swelling behavior of lime-stabilized soil
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of cyclic wetting and drying on swelling behavior of lime-stabilized clayey soils has been investigated, and the results showed that the initial effect of lime stabilization was lost after the first cycle and the swelling potential increased at the subsequent cycles.
