Stability of gypseous soils slopes stabilized with cutback asphalt and lime using the finite element method

open access: yesMagazine of Civil Engineering
Gypseous soils are widely distributed all over the world, particularly in Iraq. These soils exhibit unpredictable behaviour including losing strength and collapsing upon wetting.

Gypseous Soil Improvement by Silicone Oil

open access: yesمجلة النهرين للعلوم الهندسية, 2017
Gypseous soils are usually stiff when they are dry especially because of the cementation of soil particles by gypsum, but great loss in strength and sudden increase in compressibility occur when these soils are fully or partially saturated.

Optimizing Different Gypseous Soil Characteristics Incorporating Clayey Soil

open access: yesمجلة النهرين للعلوم الهندسية
Gypsum soil is classified as problematic because it contains gypsum, a soluble substance in the presence of water. Therefore, it is recommended that it be improved before construction.

ANALYSIS OF EMBANKMENT ON GYPSEOUS SOILS

open access: yesIraqi Journal of Civil Engineering, 2007
The gypseous soils are distributed in many regions in Iraq and other countries. Therefore, it is necessary to study the behavior of such soils due to the large damages that affects the structures founded and constructed in or on it.
