Role of Diatom Microstructure in Determining the Atterberg Limits of Fine-Grained Diatomaceous Soil
The presence of diatoms in diatomaceous soil gives it geotechnical properties that are unusual compared with common clays. The most typical physical property of diatomaceous soil is its abnormally high Atterberg limits compared to fine-grained soil ...

The experimental procedures of sand and lime as base soil stabilization materials on the modified proctor values for flexible pavement construction. [PDF]
During road construction, one of the major challenges encountered is dealing with weak subgrade soil, specifically expansive soil that experiences volume changes due to variations in moisture content.

Plasticity properties and undrained strength of bio-enzyme treated black-cotton soils. [PDF]
For Black cotton (B.C.) soils many alternate stabilization techniques are being suggested by researchers from time to time, which partially address the problem of volumetric instability with moisture changes.

Automatic determination of the Atterberg limits with machine learning•
In this study, we determine the liquid limit (𝑊𝑙), plasticity index (PI), and plastic limit (𝑊𝑝) of several natural fine-grained soil samples with the help of machine-learning and statistical methods. This enables us to locate each soil type analysed in

Relation Between Swelling Pressure and Potential Expansion Soil with Atterberg Limits
The expansive soils can be founded in various regions and extent areas in the south, middle and north of Iraq. Damage to these soils may appear immediately after construction within five years, or it may take several years until something happen to ...
