A study on the effect of sisal fibre and waste plastic strips tropical black clay (also called Black cotton soil, BCS) was carried out. Tests piloted natural treated soil consist California bearing ratio (CBR), Atterberg limits compaction for different percentages inclusion (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 2%) by dry weight soil. Results obtained showed that liquid limit BCS initially fluctuated between 43.4% 5...

Roads should possess sufficient strength to support wheel loads imposed upon them either during construction or the service life of pavement. It is sometimes necessary treat soils provide a stable subgrade working platform for road surface. Cow bones scattered in Nigerian meat markets and abattoirs have become an environmental concern, hence need seek alternative uses them. This study concentra...

Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) have become a suitable substitute for compacted used prevention of leachate percolation from landfills and tailings dams into the groundwater system. The characteristics most bentonites is improved through process activation by mixing with soda ash (Na2CO3). This paper presents investigation results suitability Imerys Mine in South Africa use GCLs. Both activated...

Direct drilling method and the use of microtremor studies are among the most commonly used available methods utilized to estimate dynamic parameters for a site. One of the most important parameters is the dominant period of the site whose estimation plays a pivotal role in seismic hazard mitigation. The conventional models obtained are not capable of estimating the parameters that govern the se...

The construction sector is increasingly seeking sustainable alternatives in its processes worldwide, with a particular focus on the production of eco-friendly materials. Additionally, improper disposal solid waste rapidly increasing, particularly agro-industry, including generated from beer processing such as malt bagasse. Therefore, objective this study was to incorporate bagasse residue into ...

Due to the world’s population growth, excessive solid waste generation is a serious environmental issue. The landfill leachate infiltrates soils, pollutes groundwater, and puts all living things at risk. This study investigates geotechnical properties of soils (marine clay granitic residual soil) migration cadmium (Cd) using high-speed centrifuge column test. All soil samples were subjected phy...

Abstract Leaking tanks may lead to severe contamination of their surrounding soil. The geotechnical behavior the soil varies with physicochemical processes that occur between contaminant and In this respect, studying geochemical properties gasoline-contaminated soils sediments seems be important for engineering especially environmental purposes. paper, laboratory tests were carried out examine ...

This study considered the practicality of groundnut shell ash (GSA) on laterite stabilized with lime for civil structures. Three site locations lateritic soil named specimen I, II and III were assembled from Ifewara, Atakunmosa West Local Government Area, Ilesa East Government, all situated in Osun State, Nigeria. Preliminary tests wrapped up specimens their characteristic states when optimum l...
