Influence of petrochemical contamination on the geotechnical behavior, shear strength characteristics, and compressibility indices of sandy clay soil
One of the most important geo-environmental issues is the contaminated soils in the construction industry which are caused by the contamination of petrochemicals. In contrast with previous studies which evaluated individual soil properties separately, this study presents an integrated experimental evaluation of index p...

Evaluating the Geotechnical Properties of Lateritic Soils Stabilized Using Hybridized Organic- Inorganic Materials
Structural failure is one of the major challenges in the construction industry. This study was conducted to evaluate the possibility of using agricultural waste materials, as stabilizing agents for weak lateritic soil. The soil was treated with various quantities of cement, yam peel ash (YPA), and coconut fibre ash (CF...

Microstructural and Geotechnical Evaluation of Cement-Stabilized Crude Oil-Contaminated Silty Clay
This study assessed the performance of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in stabilizing crude oil-contaminated silty clay soil with special focus on the improvement of the geotechnical and microstructural properties. Geotechnical tests were conducted on soil samples contaminated with crude oil at concentrations up to 20%...

Stabilization of Low Plastic Clay Soil with Recycled Pet Strips
Expansive and low plasticity clay soils pose significant challenges in geotechnical engineering due to their low bearing capacity, low strength, and high volumetric instability under moisture variations, often leading to excessive settlements, cracking, and premature failures of pavements and shallow foundations. Conve...

Moisture Effect on the Strength Properties of Patani-Clay Modified Asphalt Concrete
Traditional asphalt concrete is an important road surfacing material and tends to fail when submerged in water for a period under traffic load. The study is aimed at investigating the effect of clay, sourced from Patani, as modifier of asphalt concrete on Marshall mechanical properties and its resistance to moisture da...

Clay and Microsilica Additives’ Effect on the Properties and Structure of Injectable Cement–Clay Mortars for Soil Consolidation
The potential of clay as a replacement for Portland cement in the manufacture of injection cement–clay mortars (ICCMs) for soil stabilization is examined in this investigation. The objective of this study is to produce environmentally friendly injection-molded mortars for soil stabilization based on Portland cement (PC...
