Estimation of soil compaction parameters based on Atterberg limits [PDF]
, 2005 In civil engineering works, soils are commonly used as construction materials. Compaction of soils is carried out to improve the strength of the soils. However, compaction tests are time-consuming and relatively expensive especially when many samples are

Testing surfactants as additives for clay improvement: compaction and suction effects
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 This paper presents an exploratory study on surfactants as additives to improve soil properties. It is hypothesized that surfactant molecules populate the air-water interfaces reducing surface tension and suction thus allowing a control of the mechanical

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

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study focuses on the use of plant fibers from Hyperrhenia hirta (HH) and Stipa offneri (SO) as reinforcements in adobe production. The physical properties and durability were evaluated through an experimental campaign. The fibers were incorporated into the clay matrix at contents ranging from 0% to 1%, with a step of 0.2%.

Prediction of Swelling Pressure in Expansive Soils From Index Properties Using Nonlinear Regression
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Expansive soils rich in montmorillonite minerals undergo significant volume changes with moisture fluctuations, generating swelling pressures that can adversely affect civil engineering structures. This study developed nonlinear regression models to predict the swelling pressure of expansive soils in Woldia, Ethiopia, using readily measurable soil ...

Enhancing Expansive Soil Stability Using Agricultural Waste: Soybean Pod Ash and Banana Fiber
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study evaluates the efficacy of agricultural waste—soybean pod ash (SBPA) and banana fiber (BF)—as sustainable stabilizers for expansive soils in Jimma Town, Ethiopia. Soil samples from Kebele 5 and Ajip Kela (1.50 m depth) with the highest plasticity indices and lowest California bearing ratio (CBR) values were selected.

PARAMETRIC MODELLING ON THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ATTERBERG LIMITS AND COMPACTION CHARACTERISTICS OF FINE-GRAINED SOILS [PDF]
, 2021 Compaction is one of the essential engineering techniques, performed to assure the stability of soils based on specified strength. However, in most construction projects such as large-scale projects, obtaining the desired compaction characteristics ...
