State of the Practice − Sub‐Aqueous In‐Situ Solidification for Contaminated Sediment Remediation
ABSTRACT In‐situ solidification (ISS) has emerged as a cost‐effective and versatile technology for sediment remediation, particularly for addressing contamination at greater sediment depths. This paper evaluates ISS in the context of conventional sediment remediation approaches, highlighting its advantages, design and implementation considerations, and

Behavior of Soil Subgrade Strength with Saturation
The traffic volume counts to be carried and the strength of the subgrade soil are used to design the different levels of pavement that must be placed over it. The strength of the subgrade is commonly expressed as a ratio known as the California Bearing Ratio, abbreviated as CBR. When the subgrade is weaker, thicker layers are required, whereas when the

Polyampholyte polymer as a stabiliser for subgrade soil
AbstractThis study evaluates the potential of selected ionic polymers to act as pavement subgrade binders. Investigations were based on their relative performance with a Qatari soil which was selected as typical of a pavement subgrade to be found in the Middle East and North African region.

Mix Proportion of Fly Ash Concrete Based on the Strength Contribution Ratio
ABSTRACT This study aims to expand the use of fly ash concrete (FAC). Based on an experimental investigation of k values or the contribution of FA addition to the strength of ordinary Portland cement or Portland blast‐furnace slag cement type B, we propose and validate an environmentally friendly mix design for FAC.

Evaluation of Lightweight Soil as a Subgrade Material
PURPOSES : It is to evaluate lightweight soil as a subgrade material based on mechanical tests and calculation of pavement performance. METHODS : In this research, various contents of cement and air foam are used to make lightweight soil using wasted dredged soil.

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 ...

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
