The Jamshoro soil is a weak and expansive soil. construction of infrastructure on such soils has resulted severe damages huge maintenance costs. Thus, it needs treatment to enhance its geotechnical properties. This research work investigates the effects chemical stabilizers as lime, fly ash, silica fume compaction consolidation characteristics Jamshoro. were added individually in different prop...

The first stage of any major civil engineering project generally involves some form of preliminary reconnaissance study of project sites followed by detailed geotechnical investigation. Primary aim of this study is to collect data concerning physical characteristics of terrain and ground conditions in order to assess their likely influence on the overall design and performance of infrastructure...

Expansive soil is a kind of special that mainly composes hydrophilic minerals and has significant deformation characteristics water absorption expansion loss shrinkage. The often bring great harms to engineering construction. Relying on the bridge foundation expansive slope Yangtze-to-Huaihe Water Diversion Project, this study simulates humidity field with temperature for using numerical simula...

Abstract The yield stress of mud is the basis for analyzing flow and desilting debris flow. Nanyang expansive soil was used as experimental materials, rheological curves with different solid volume concentrations were obtained by using scanning experiment Antonpa mcr702 rheometer. For slurry concentration, change process shear rate analyzed. According to results, divided into three stages: grow...

Abstract This paper illustrates application of a locally produced geogrid material for strength improvement expansive subgrade soil. Samples black, soft soil predominating the study area were collected from south western parts Modjo town, inside rift valley region central Ethiopia. X-Ray diffraction as well index property tests executed to identify and categorize expansiveness highly plastic Th...
