...M. Abbaspour; S. S. Narani; E. Aflaki; F. Moghadas Nejad; S. M. Mir Mohammad Hosseini Expansive soils are problematic for their relatively low load bearing capacity and extensive swelling-shrinkage deformations. Therefore, treatment of such soils is often considered to be necessary prior...

...) and preserve low permeability, of the order of 10⁻¹¹ m/s, in the presence of relatively high calcium concentration in the permeating liquid. However, the efficiency of overlap seams can be affected by the permeant type. In the presence of permeant liquids that inhibit swelling (e.g. seawater...

...B.V.S. Viswanadham; B.R. Phanikumar; R.V. Mukherjee ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to examine the influence of discrete and randomly distributed fibres on heave of an expansive soil. One-dimensional swell tests were conducted on a remoulded expansive soil with and without fibres...
