To offer or predict the shear strength of compacted lime stabilized expansive soils after long-term immersion for the slope analysis, the paper carried out direct shear test on the compacted stabilized expansive soils after different immersion time. The test results show that long-term immersion has significant impact on the shear strength of the lime stabilized expansive soils, the shear strength reduced sharply after soaking, but the shear strength tends to a stable value about 60%~70% normal strength while soaking is longer than 50 days.

Abstract:

The shear strength of expansive soils is now a key geotechnical problem. The water content and dry density of expansive soils have deep effect on its shear strength. For analyzing the detail relationship of the water content, dry density and shear strength of this special soil, direct shear test was carried out with the samples from Xinxiang in middle line of South to North water diversion project. The results indicate that both of the cohesion and friction angle grow with dry density and decrease with initial water content. Applying the linear regression calculation, we obtained mathematical

Abstract:

Expansive soil is characterized by its unique structural morphology and drastic volume change. With infrastructure increasingly constructed in expansive soil areas, engineering problems caused by the properties of expansive soils have attracted more attention. Cyclic wetting-drying and shear testing were accordingly conducted on an expansive soil from Chengdu area in China. Crack development and shear strength change were analyzed using the Mohr–Coulomb equation for shear strength by fitting the experimental data. The results show the following: (1) With the increase in wetting-drying cycles,

Abstract:

In the southwest of China, there are widely distributed expansive soils. However, to save costs and manage the speed of construction, these shallow expansive soils are often filled with subgrade materials. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly understand the mechanical behaviors of unmodified shallow expansive soils. Current research on the mechanical behaviors of shallow expansive soils is mainly focused on shear and compressive strengths but rarely on the tensile strength since general tests are costly, time consuming, and difficult to conduct. Therefore, uniaxial tensile, unconfined compres

By using the micropore surface fractal model, the shear strength formula for expansive soils is obtained.

Abstract:

Cohesive soils present difficulties in construction projects because it usually contains expansive clay minerals. However, the engineering properties of cohesive soils can be stabilized by using various techniques. The research aims to elaborate on the influences of using hydrated lime on the consistency, compaction, and shear strength properties of clayey soil samples from Sulaimnai city, northern Iraq. The proportions of added hydrated lime are 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% to the natural soil sample. The results yielded considerable effects of hydrated lime on the engineering properties of the

Abstract:

This research paper depicts the experimental investigation of the impact of stone dust as an admixture on the geotechnical characteristics of expansive soils that shrink and swell during the wet and dry seasons. As a result, expansive soil causes the differential settlement of structures. Thus the stabilization of expansive soil is important to overcome potential pavement failure. For this purpose research studies were carried out on the reuse of stone industry wastage for the improvement of expansive soil. Also, this research is beneficial to utilize the stone dust waste for strengthening the

Abstract:

The construction of roads often necessitates soil stabilization in the sub-base and sub-grade regions when the soil exhibits poor strength due to softness, swelling, or low shear strength. While compaction can enhance many soils, it may not be sufficient for expansive soils, which necessitate the use of stabilizing agents, especially when dealing with weak or expansive soils. A crucial parameter in pavement design is the California Bearing Ratio (CBR), which measures soil strength. This study aimed to enhance CBR values by incorporating granular Sub-Base (GSB) material.

The expansive clay soils are spread in a large area all over the world. They are one of the predominated problematic soils which can change their volume and loss their shear strength when they exposed to water. Several methods have been used to mitigate the negative effects of expansive soil on civil engineering structures and constructions. Different materials have been applied in these stabilization methods (physical or chemical stabilization). Wastes from construction and demolition of the buildings are among these materials that used as soil stabilizer agents. This paper presents a critica

Abstract Some types of plastic clay swell significantly when water comes into contact with them and then suffer from shrinkage when they lose water. Buildings built on such soil are exposed to many problems due to the increased uplift forces on the foundation generated by the swell. Traditional methods of stabilizing these soils are costly; therefore, recycled materials are introduced as alternative solutions to enhance the problematic soil due to their low in cost and reasonable engineering properties.

Abstract According to the Geological Map of Indonesia, the distribution of espansive soils in Indonesia, especially in Sumatra and Java, is very large. These soils, which have the mineralogy of illite, kaolite and montmorillonite, are known to have very high growth properties that affect the bearing capacity of the soil. Due to the mineralization nature, swollen soil is easy to retain water during the rainy season, leading to swelling and conversely, it is easy to shrink in summer. Therefore, Indonesia with its hot and rainy season has a great influence on the land expansive. Along with the in

The results show that the shear strength index of residual expansive soil should be obtained according to the high and low stress sections, respectively.

Soils that cause effective damages to engineer structures (such as pavement and foundation) are called problematic or difficult soils (include collapsible soil, expansive soil, etc.). These damages occur due to poor or unfavorited engineering properties, such as low shear strength, high compressibility, high volume changes, etc. In the case of expansive soil, the problem of the shrink-swell phenomenon, when the soil reacts with water, is more pronounced. To overcome such problems, soils can be treated or stabilized with many stabilization ways (mechanical, chemical, etc.). Such ways can amend

If the bearing capacity and shear strength is insufficient, it can be increased by replacing good soil in place of bad soil, which involves high financial aspects or improve the properties of existing soil by
