Use of Sustainable Binders in Soil Stabilization

TL;DR: The procedure of soil treatment with industrial and domestic wastes such as ground glass and coal ash (acting as pozzolans) and carbide lime is a sustainable practice when the assignment in...

Prediction of compressive and tensile strengths of zeolite-cemented sand using porosity and composition

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cement and zeolite contents on the strength of sand using unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and splitting tensile strength (qt) were examined.

Strength, durability, and microstructure of geopolymers based on recycled-glass powder waste and dolomitic lime for soil stabilization

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of low, intermediate and high contents of recycled-glass powder (GP) waste on soil behavior was evaluated by determining the unconfined compressive strength (qu), splitting tensile strength (qt), and durability against wetting/drying cycles (W-D) for the long-term.

The effects of curing time and temperature on stiffness, strength and durability of sand-environment friendly binder blends

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the potential use of RHA mixed with carbide lime as a binder, improving strength, stiffness and durability properties of a uniform sand, and showed that the dry unit weight, RHA content and curing type are significantly effect the strength results.

Effect of EPS beads in lightening a typical zeolite and cement-treated sand

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of EPS beads inclusion on the strength properties of stabilized poorly-graded sands was evaluated through several mechanical tests, and it was concluded that the increase of AC and porosity (n) of the mixture, respectively, increases and decreases the strength parameters.

A state parameter for sands

K. Been, +1 more
- 01 Jun 1985 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an appropriate physical parameter, termed the state parameter, that combines the influence of void ratio and stress level with reference to an ultimate (steady) state to describe sand behaviour.

The general and congruent effects of structure in natural soils and weak rocks

S. Leroueil, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1990 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the engineering properties of naturally occurring sedimentary and residual deposits which are usually treated in geotechnical engineering as ‘soils’ are reviewed, and it is shown that usually they have characteristics due to bonded structure which are similar to those of porous weak rock.

Influence of porosity on compressive and tensile strength of cement mortar

TL;DR: In this paper, the porosity-dependent relationship between compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of cement mortar has been evaluated and interpreted in terms of its porosity, and the authors first reviewed the existing porosity strength relationships (Ryshkewithch, Schiller, Balshin and Hasselman model) and assessed the suitability of existing relationships.

Cemented sands under static loading

TL;DR: In this paper, a test program was undertaken to define the nature of the cementation and its effect on behavior of the soils, and a total of 137 laboratory compression and tension load tests were performed on undisturbed samples of naturally and artificially prepared cemented sands.
