... observations under different loading and drainage conditions. This combined experimental–numerical approach provides further insight into the interaction between bonding, loading, and drainage conditions, offering a useful basis for predicting the response of nanosilica-stabilised collapsible soils. Most...

... is very cost-effective, and the resulting structures have satisfied stability and serviceability requirements in many situations. This paper reports a case study of stabilising a vertical cut supporting a masonry retaining wall in hilly terrain, which is being developed with considerable investment...

...A. M. O. Mohamed; M. Hossein; F. Hassani To evaluate the success of the ALFA technology to stabilise and solidify the acid-producing tailings by means of ettringite formation, a tailings sample from a mine in the province of Quebec, Canada, was subjected to treatment and subsequent evaluation...

...H. Åhnberg Common estimates of the design strength of soft soils stabilised by deep mixing do not take into account the effect of the confining stresses on the behaviour of the material. This is largely an effect of the limited knowledge of how different consolidation stresses affect the strength...

..., compaction behaviour, volume change behaviour, hydraulic conductivity and unconfined compressive strength of the mixture stabilised with 1% of lime were determined immediately and after curing. The results show that the plasticity of illite–bentonite mixture is not affected by 1% lime immediately...

...W. Wehr A new type of soil nailing, called sand anchors, has been developed to stabilise old retaining walls. Sand anchors bear without grout because of the constrained dilatancy of a dense granular material between anchor rod and borehole wall. They are environmentally friendly, can...

...H. Åhnberg; P.-E. Bengtsson; G. Holm When stabilising peat by the dry mix method, 0·5–1·0 m of fill is normally placed on top of the soil directly after the mixing operation has been carried out. The purpose of this is to compress the mixture before hardening and to squeeze out air introduced...
