Characterization of Cementitiously Stabilized Layers for Use in Pavement Design and Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the characterization of cementitiously stabilized layers and the properties that influence pavement performance are discussed, as well as performance-related procedures for characterizing these layers and performance-prediction models for incorporation into the mechanistic-empirical pavement analysis methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamentals of soil stabilization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors addressed the some fundamental and success soil improvement techniques used in civil engineering field and addressed the failure to identify the existence and magnitude of expansion of these soils in the early stage of project planning.

Experimental study on instability of bases on natural and lime/cement-stabilized clayey soils
Raymond N. Yong,V.R. Ouhadi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the physicochemical (reaction) factors to explain the general basic causes of the deterioration of support capability for these types of soils are used, which can be combined with X-ray diffraction testing to provide a set of practical ways to monitor the possibilities of these failures.

Soil and clay stabilization with calcium- and non-calcium-based additives: A state-of-the-art review of challenges, approaches and techniques
TL;DR: In this paper, the state of the practice in stabilization techniques and challenges is presented with a discussion, and available studies regarding the effects of various types of stabilizing agents on the engineering and geotechnical properties of stabilized soils are reviewed.

Engineering properties of unfired clay masonry bricks
J.E. Oti,John Kinuthia,J. Bai +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the engineering properties of unfired clay bricks produced during the first industrial trial of masonry material development carried out at Hanson Brick Company, in Stewartby, Bedfordshire, under the Knowledge Exploitation Fund (KEF) Collaborative Industrial Research Project (CIRP) programme were reported.

Properties of concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the following properties of concrete: Elasticity, Shrinkage and Creep, Durabilty of Concrete, Freezing and Thawing, and Chlorides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of expansion associated with ettringite formation
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that in the presence of lime the nature of ettringite formed is colloidal, and not long lath-like crystals, which can attract a large number of water molecules which cause interparticle repulsion, thus causing an overall expansion of the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lime-Induced Heave in Sulfate-Bearing Clay Soils
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found abundant thaumasite, a complex calcium-silicate-hydroxide-sulfate-carbonate-hyd rate mineral, forming a solid solution series with ettringite.

Mechanism of sulfate attack on portland cement concrete — Another look
TL;DR: The chemical phenomenon of ettringite formation as a result of reaction between sulfate water and hydration products of portland cement does not adequately explain all the physical manifestations of the sulfate attack as discussed by the authors.
