Resisting spread of environmental-pollution diseases due to Portland-cement industries: green nanoclay applications

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
New eco-friendly thermal-casting ductile CPNC-concrete and CPNC-mortar materials have been developed without Portland-cement or water-use. It needs three hours for thermal synthesis. It contains 5%, 10% or 15% green natural nanoclay–polymer nanocomposite

Using CT to test the damage characteristics of the internal structure of expansive soil induced by dry–wet cycles

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2021
Damage to the internal structure of expansive soil under dry–wet cycles is the key factor for engineering damage to expansive soil. The expansive soil in Nanyang, Henan Province, China, is taken as the research object, and the damage characteristics of ...

Deformation and control mechanism of MICP-treated expansive soil

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
Due to its strong hydrophilicity, the expansive soil will show significant volume expansion when soaked in water, which can cause hazard to the structures such as channels and embankments.

A study on the shear strength and dry-wet cracking behaviour of waste fibre-reinforced expansive soil

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2022
Expansive soils have typical expansion and contraction properties. Under the action of dry-wet cycles, the mechanical properties and cracking behaviour of expansive soil change significantly due to repeated expansion and contraction, which results in ...

Expansive soils

open access: yes, 2023
Abstract Expansive soils present significant geotechnical and structural engineering challenges the world over, with costs associated with expansive behaviour estimated to run into several billion pounds annually. Expansive soils are those which experience significant volume changes associated with changes in water content.
