Experimental Study to Reinforce The Weak Subgrade Soil For Low-Volume Roads by Coir Geotextile Mats

JGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology, 2018
The construction and maintenance of pavement over the weak subgrade soil become the challenging task to the pavement engineering. One of the major reasons of subgrade failure of pavement is weak subgrade. The weak subgrade soil noticed a Black Cotton (BC)

Photovoltaic‐Assisted Energy Optimization for High‐Speed Train Performance in South Africa Intercity Electric Rail Corridors

The Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Decarbonizing the intercity rail in sub‐Saharan Africa requires the use of energy architectures that go beyond traditional grid reliance at the expense of traction performance. This paper introduces a novel photovoltaic (PV)‐assisted hybrid traction topology for a 42 km Pretoria–Sandton rail corridor in South Africa, where between‐rail PV ...

Influence of Asphalt Emulsion Stabilization on Pavement Structural Behavior and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Assessing pavement sustainability requires jointly evaluating structural performance and environmental impacts, yet these dimensions are often analyzed separately. This study proposes an integrated framework combining mechanistic–empirical pavement design and life cycle assessment (LCA) to quantify the structural–environmental trade‐off associated with

Application of FWD and GPR for Performance Evaluation of In‐Service Roads

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Road performance detection typically encompasses structural strength testing and damage assessment, with the resilient modulus serving as a key indicator of structural integrity. To enhance the assessment of road performance, this study explores the combined application of falling weight deflectometer (FWD) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) in ...

Thermal Stability Analysis and Novel Cooling Technology Field Tests for Permafrost Railway Subgrades

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Global warming has intensified the climatic warming and moistening trend on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, threatening the thermal stability of railway subgrades in the plateau permafrost regions. However, previous studies have lacked systematic analyses that comprehensively consider the climate along the railway, permafrost conditions, and subgrade ...

Recent Advances in Soil Stabilization and Reinforcement: A Comprehensive Review of Emerging Technologies

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The rapid increase in the global population has intensified the need for residential areas and civil infrastructure, ultimately leading to construction in areas with less desirable geological conditions. This underscores the necessity for soil improvement. With increasing public concern for environmental issues and the urgent goal of achieving net‐zero
