Development of Geocapillary Barrier System for Water Retention in Highway Landscaping

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This study investigates the potential use of geosynthetic materials as capillary barriers to enhance water retention in landscaping soils. The soil was first classified using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS); then, the Van Genuchten model was used to model and compare the unsaturated hydraulic characteristics of the soil and geosynthetic ...

Evaluación del desempeño de mezclas de suelo y residuos de la construcción como una alternativa para el mejoramiento de subrasantes de vías de bajo volumen de tránsito

Revista Ingenierías Universidad de Medellín, 2022
Aunque las vías rurales por lo general tienen gran importancia económica para las comunidades, se pueden considerar de bajo volumen de tránsito (BVT), lo cual lleva a que su pavimentación sea difícil de viabilizar financieramente.

Strength Improvement of Black Cotton Soil With Cement and Waste Glass Powder for Subgrade Stabilization

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Expansive soils cause volume changes because they swell and lose strength when wet and shrink when dried. Light buildings and pavements constructed over such soils will not last long due to settlement and cyclic volume changes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to blend black cotton soil with cement and waste glass powder (WGP) in order to ...

Geotechnical Behavior and Microstructural Analysis of Expansive Subgrade Soils Stabilized With Coffee Husk Ash

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This study examines the enhancement of engineering properties in expansive subgrade soils through stabilization with coffee husk ash (CHA), an agricultural byproduct obtained from coffee husk combustion. CHA was incorporated at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% by dry soil weight, and the soil–CHA mixtures were cured for 7, 14, and 28 days.

Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Clay Tile Waste Concrete Treated With Silica Fume

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The increasing generation of Ceramic Clay Tile Waste (CCTW) has prompted the construction industry to explore sustainable alternatives in concrete production. This study investigates the use of CCTW aggregates as a partial replacement for natural coarse aggregates in concrete and silica fume (SF) as a pozzolana, addressing sustainability challenges in ...
