These findings confirm the engineering feasibility of this approach and the sustainable application of recycled plastics in shotcrete while meeting required construction performance...

...Beste Kocak Dinc; Kaveh Dehghanian; Ehsan Etminan This study investigates the effectiveness of waste ceramic powder as a sustainable additive for improving the geotechnical behaviour of poorly graded sandy soils. Ceramic waste was mixed with sand at 5%, 10%, and 15% by dry weight, and its influence...

.... This study investigates the reuse potential of MSWI ash (both bottom ash and fly ash) as a sustainable landfill liner material. A comprehensive analysis of the chemical, physical, and geotechnical properties of MSWI ash was conducted, revealing typical ranges such as maximum dry density ( MDD ) of 10.8...

... ), as sustainable soil stabilisers aimed at improving the mechanical behaviour of compacted loess under variable moisture and curing conditions. Compaction and unconfined compression tests were conducted on soil-biopolymer mixtures with 1% and 2% content, cured for up to 56 days. The results show that biopolymers...
