Weak soil at construction sites necessitates ground improvement. Chemical stabilization is typically carried out using either lime or cement. The primary objective of this study was to assess the strength and durability lime-stabilized soils modified with nano-alumina (NA). This adopted scientifically established initial consumption (ICL) content for stabilization. In addition, added in varying...

Expansive soil needs to undergo treatment be used as safe foundation for roads and buildings. From an environmental conservation economical point of view, the usage agricultural industrial wastes is best option. In this study, effects utilizing plastic waste marble dust on engineering properties expansive soils were examined. Various laboratory tests carried out sampled by adding 10, 15, 20% 0....

A current challenge in unsaturated soil mechanics is the need to estimate ground heave and associated shallow foundation movements expansive soils due water content changes. Such estimation should be simple for geotechnical engineering practitioners provide reliable designs through quantifying risk with heave. The difficulties generalizing a method are related several variables influencing beha...

For years, geotechnical engineers have been concerned about expansive soils. Expansive soils are characterized by large volumetric changes related to variations in moisture content. Variations soil water content may take place naturally during seasonal or maybe manmade caused dewatering activities. The quantity of shrinkage and swell is influenced numerous parameters, including the minerals cla...

Expansive clay is one of the most widely distributed soils in world. Due to its rich content strongly hydrophilic minerals—such as montmorillonite—expansive exhibits substantial swelling and shrinkage properties, overconsolidation. The formation process undisturbed expansive has a long complicated geological history innumerable drying–wetting cycles, resulting special internal structures. In th...

The soils of Indian Black Cotton are well-known examples Expansive soils, which display significant swelling and shrinkage in response to changes moisture content. distressing cyclical shrinking under fluctuations lead serious failures. Stabilization soil can be used improve it order get around this. An agricultural industrial waste called rice husk ash is created when husk, a byproduct paddy m...

An automated experimental system to characterize moisture-contenttotal-suction relationships for unsaturated clayey soils is described. Unlike traditional techniques requiring independent measurement of total suction and moisture content (e.g., thermocouple psychrometry and filter paper), suction is directly controBed and corresponding moisture contents are continuously monitored. The system is...

Hadamard (or complete $CAT(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. Here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. Our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real Hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on Ha...
