Temperature effects on carbon storage are controlled by soil stabilisation capacities [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 The extent to which temperature controls soil carbon storage remains highly uncertain. Here, the authors show that, globally, soil carbon stocks decline strongly with temperature, but the effect is much greater in coarse-textured soils with limited ...

Biomimicry in the Context of Stabilised Porous Clays [PDF]
BiomimeticsThis study explores the etymological roots of nature and nature-inspired design within the context of soil stabilisation. It outlines Aristotle’s doctrine of hylomorphism and applies these concepts to develop a pathway for the stabilisation of clays ...

Buildings, 2023 Soil, a naturally occurring resource, is increasingly used as a construction material. Stabilisation strengthens soil, which is weak as an engineering material. Stabilising soil changes its physical qualities, enhancing its strength.

Cleaner Engineering and Technology, 2021 Expansive soils are problematic soils which pose a risk to the safety of civil engineering structures. These soils can be treated by compaction or by adding additives to the soil. Where the strength and properties of expansive soil cannot be improved via

Effect of ceramic tiles dust on physical and engineering properties of tropical residual soil [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 Ceramic tile dust is a by-product from manufacturing plant or construction site which leads to the disposal or environmental issues. Previous research has identified the potential of ceramic tile dust in concrete and soil stabilisation.

Review of Fly-Ash-Based Geopolymers for Soil Stabilisation with Special Reference to Clay
Geosciences, 2020 Alkali-activated binders, more commonly referred to as “geopolymers”, have recently emerged as a good alternative to traditional binders (e.g., lime and cement) for soil stabilisation.

Stabilisation of Soft Clay, Quick Clay and Peat by Industrial By-Products and Biochars
Applied Sciences, 2023 The stabilisation of soft soils using the traditional binders cement and quicklime are known to emit large amounts of carbon dioxide. To reduce this carbon footprint, substitutes such as industrial by-products have been thoroughly tested as viable ...

Using the root spread information of pioneer plants to quantify their mitigation potential against shallow landslides and erosion in temperate humid climates [PDF]
, 2016 The aim of this paper was to quantify the mitigation potential of pioneer herbs against shallow landslidesand erosion in temperate humid climates and to identify key plant information to aid species selectionfor slope stabilisation. The objectives ranged

Lime stabilisation for earthworks: a UK perspective [PDF]
, 2014 Lime stabilisation is a versatile technique applied during earthworks operations. Modern soil recycling units are much more efficient at pulverising fill material and intermixing the added binder/water than machinery available 20 years ago.
