Optimization of the Atterberg Limits on expansive soil stabilized with chitosan biopolymer [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Pavement deterioration can be caused by expansive road subgrade material. Swelling properties are one of the problems on expansive soils. The swelling properties can be decreased by stabilization using additives.

Effect of Compaction Effort and Initial Conditions on the Unsaturated Properties of Red Clay Soils

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In geotechnical engineering, the principle of saturated soil mechanics is used in the construction of structures. However, defining the constitutive unsaturated soil model requires significant laboratory testing, and directly measuring the parameters of the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) by the pressure plate test is time‐consuming.

A Bending Test for Determining the Atterberg Plastic Limit in Soils [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2016
The thread rolling test is the most commonly used method to determine the plastic limit (PL) in soils. It has been widely criticized, because a considerable subjective judgment from the operator that carries out the test is involved during its performance, which may affect the final result significantly.

Recent Advances in Soil Stabilization and Reinforcement: A Comprehensive Review of Emerging Technologies

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The rapid increase in the global population has intensified the need for residential areas and civil infrastructure, ultimately leading to construction in areas with less desirable geological conditions. This underscores the necessity for soil improvement. With increasing public concern for environmental issues and the urgent goal of achieving net‐zero

Geotechnical Properties of Soils as Influenced by Land Use in a Humid Environment [PDF]

Iranica Journal of Energy and Environment, 2011
We investigated some geotechnical properties of soils of Port Harcourt in 2009 under three land use types, namely mechanically cleared land, on-going building constructions and fallow land. A combination of target and random soil survey techniques guided

Experimental Characterization and Numerical Performance Assessment of Treated Cinder Gravel for Base Course Applications

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study investigated the suitability of natural cinder gravel blended with fine‐crushed aggregates as a base course pavement material using laboratory tests and numerical simulations. Laboratory test results for natural cinder gravel indicated that cinder gravel alone failed to meet the Ethiopian Roads Authority (ERA) standard specifications for ...

Determination of Atterberg Limits using the vane shear test method

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
Atterberg limits are important index parameters used to classify soils for various engineering applications. Engineering properties of soils are predicted through simple correlations with index properties and thereby the engineering behavior of soils are
