Expansive soils, featuring severe swelling-shrinkage behavior and low bearing capacity, pose persistent challenges to geotechnical infrastructure. As a promising alternative to lime and cement stabilizers, calcium carbide residue-rice husk ash (CCR-RHA) blends have been widely investigated, but existing studies focus m...
Expansive soils present major geotechnical challenges due to their pronounced swell–shrink behaviour and associated volumetric instability, which can compromise foundations, pavements, and embankments. This study examines the stabilization of Ankara expansive clay using eight conventional, chemical, and waste-derived a...
This article presents laboratory experiments examining the potential benefits of the synergistic effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and metakaolin (MK) on lime (L) stabilisation of synthetic sulfate-bearing soil. The different soil–binder mixtures considered in this study were prepared by partially...
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%...
To promote the valorization of red mud (RM), a high-volume industrial solid waste, engineered geopolymer composites (EGC) were developed using a ternary binder comprising ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), fly ash (FA), and RM. Ten mixtures were designed using a simplex-centroid method, and the effects of bin...
