Treatment of Collapsibility of Gypseous Soils by Dynamic Compaction [PDF]
Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2012 Gypseous soils are distributed in vast areas and various regions of Iraq and other countries. Many foundation failure problems that occur in these soils are associated with percolation of water and dissolution of gypsum. Many attempts were made by several researchers to treat and improve the properties of gypseous soils to decrease the dissolution of ...

Behavior of circular skirted footing on gypseous soil subjected to water infiltration
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2023 Skirted footings are used to increase the final carrying capacity of shallow foundations resting on unstable soil and to decrease settling by limiting the soil beneath them. Skirted footings are utilized as an alternative to pile driving in poor strength

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 This investigation involved the utilization of the combination of lime, jaggery, and gallnut powder, adopted in South India traditionally. This combination of materials, used for the manufacture of lime‐based mortars, was adopted in stabilization of an expansive soil. Three combinations of lime, jaggery, and gallnut powder (LJG) in the ratios of 8 : 2 :

Shearing Performance of Lime‐Reinforced Iron Tailing Powder Based on Energy Dissipation
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 The resource utilization of iron tailing powder is an effective measure to reduce the risk of tailing stacking. Based on the research findings on lime soil, a method for using lime to strengthen iron tailing powder was proposed. F-s curves and c and φ values of iron tailing powder with 0%, 2%, 4%, 8%, and 10% lime were obtained through direct shear ...

Prediction of Shear Strength Parameters of Gypseous Soil using Artificial Neural Networks
Journal of Engineering, 2022 The shear strength of soil is one of the most important soil properties that should be identified before any foundation design. The presence of gypseous soil exacerbates foundation problems.
