Vinod; Jun Sugawara; Bindumadhava Aery; Siva Sivakumar Expansive soils pose significant geotechnical challenges due to their time-dependent swelling behaviour, which can cause severe infrastructure damage. The ability to predict swell potential...

...Mohamed A. Sakr, PhD; Wasiem R. Azzam, PhD; Mohamed A. Meguid, PhD; Asaad F. Hassan, PhD; Hebatalla A. Ghoneim, MSc Expansive soils are generally characterised by their volume change when subjected to variation in water content. This may result in significant damage to supported and nearby...

...T. Ashok Kumar, PhD; T. Thyagaraj, PhD; R. G. Robinson, PhD Class C fly ash, a byproduct of thermal power plants, is often preferred for the stabilisation of expansive soils. However, improper optimisation of the stabiliser may lead to the premature failure of treated soils during wet–dry cycles...

...S. M. Rao; B. V. V. Reddy; M. Muttharam Lime stabilisation of expansive soils in arid and semi-arid regions exposes them to cycles of wetting and drying due to seasonal climatic changes. Cyclic wetting and drying is known to alter the microstructure and swell–shrink behaviour of expansive soils...
