Abstract To address the load-bearing deterioration of expansive soils uplift pile foundation after moisture absorption, a coupled seepage-soil deformation model for unsaturated expansive soils is implemented into ABAQUS. This modeling work consists primarily of two aspects: (1) The total strain of expansive soils has been decoupled into two parts, i.e., one caused by external loads and calculated by using Mohr-Coulomb plasticity model, and the other induced by wetting swelling and modeled by defining the moisture-swelling relation curve of expansive soils; (2) User-defined field subroutine (US

Abstract:

Expansive soils are one of the problematic soils that can cause damage to structures, such as buildings and roads. In Indonesia, the geographical distribution of expansive soils is quite widespread, in many regions including Java, Sumatera, and Papua. This study was conducted by reviewing previous research on the expansion degree of expansive soils. The suitability of the expansion degree indicated by the activity method, Van der Merwe’s criteria, and Chen’s criteria were evaluated by comparing a series of laboratory test results to these criteria. It was observed that the expansion degree ind

Abstract:

Expansive soils are problematic and viewed as a potential hazard for buildings and structures due to swell and shrink phenomena. The damaging effect of these soils is strongly correlated with the soil-water characteristics of expansive soils present in the shallow depth. The seasonal wetting-drying cycle is vital in fluctuating moisture content in the surficial soils. As such, soils remain unsaturated most of the time due to high absorption capacity. Therefore, it is crucial to assess them as unsaturated soil, and the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an essential tool for measuring un

Abstract:

An expansive soil is a type of soil that expands or contracts as a direct consequence of variations in water volume. Expansive soils have low bearing capacity, large settlement, and excessive water absorbability as their physical properties. They have inadequate bearing capacity due to high water content, and causes consolidation settlement. This makes them problematic for civil engineering construction. Various issues in the buildings or construction projects may arise as a result of expansive soil’s swelling and contracting behaviour such as crucible damage to roads and walkways and other li

Abstract:

Expansive soils, which are generally termed as problematic soils, cause swelling and shrinkage resulting in significant damage to the structures constructed on them. In this study, an attempt is made to know the effect of Road Building International Grade 81 (RBI Grade 81) on strength characteristics of expansive soil. RBI Grade 81 has a wide range of response spectrum. Response spectrum is the range of soils for which a particular stabilizer can be used. A wide range of tests, such as Atterberg limits, compaction, unconfined compressive strength, and California bearing ratio, were conducted o

Abstract:

Abstract: Soil plays an essential role in the construction of any civil engineering structure. It must be able to withstand the loads without breaking down. In some areas, the soil may not be strong enough to withstand the incoming loads. To address this, there are many methods of soil stabilization available, but some of these methods, such as chemical stabilization, lime stabilization, etc., can have an adverse effect on the soil's chemical composition. In this paper, we will be looking at the effects of fly ash on the strength gain of an expansive clay soil when combined with different perc

Abstract:

Expansive soils are very important natural geological materials used in the geotechnical applications in the worldwide. After compacting, they are used as hydraulic barriers in earth structures, such as core of earth fill dams, landfill liners, and etc. However, these soils have some defects from technical points of view. To remove the defects, one of the soil improvement methods is mixing of these soils with granular materials. In this study, pine tree sawdust was used as granular additive material to stabilize the expansive soils. The effects of pine saw dust on the volume compressibility of

Abstract:

Expansive soils, susceptible to be affected by the environmental conditions, expand when water is added and shrink when they dry out. This continuous change in soil volume is able to cause structures built on them to move unevenly and crack. To investigate the hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated expansive soils, many laboratory tests on these materials have been carried on and numerous models have also been proposed with a relatively large number of parameters. In this study, a simplified model based on Zarka method has been developed for unsaturated expansive soils. The direct determinat

Expansive soils in semi-arid regions are of great concern to design and geotechnical engineers. Damage to residential buildings resulting from expansive soil movements has been widely reported in Australia. This paper describes the current practice in Australia, which includes the site classification, laboratory tests and residential footing design. A case study of a residential house damaged by expansive soils is also presented.

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:

One of the problematic soils is expansive soil, which has a strong tendency to shrink when dried and to inflate when its moisture level changes. In India, expansive soils made up of clays are referred to as black cotton soils. The alternating swell-shrink tendency of expansive soils results in foundation structures, including buildings and earth retaining wall pavements, to become distressed. For geotechnical engineers, comprehending the behavior of expansive soil and implementing the proper control measures has been a challenging challenge. A lot of study is being done to develop solutions fo
