Stabilisation of clay subgrade soils using ground granulated blastfurnace slag [PDF]
, 2001 Roads constructed on expansive clays may be adversely affected by the behaviour of the clay. Expansive clays suffer volume change due to changes in moisture content which causes heaving, cracking and the break up of the road pavement.

Soil-water chemical tests and action mechanism of acid rain infiltration into expansive soil
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022 It is very important to clarify the mechanism of soil-water chemical interaction between acid rain and expansive soil for studying the deterioration mechanism of performance of shallow expansive soil and slope stability in acid rain areas. Therefore, the

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2020 Cohesive non-swelling soil (CNS) cushion technology is widely used to solve swelling deformation problems in expansive soil areas. However, the swelling inhibition mechanism is still not fully understood. In this study, the inhibition effect on expansive
