Expansive clayey soils undergo significant volumetric changes, and desiccation cracks develop due to wetting and drying cycles. The presence of desiccation cracks changes the soil's hydro-mechanical properties and allows ...

The quality and acceptability of a waveform data collected during spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) testing is judged based on the coherence function over the measured range of frequencies. However, many trials and ...

Sustainability studies in geotechnical engineering have focused on life cycle assessment (LCA) of materials and construction processes to quantify the environmental and socio-economic impacts of construction. However, in ...

The performance and maintenance of an infrastructure asset depend on the stability of adjacent structures. In this study, rail line passing through rock cut is selected to analyze the stability of the rock slopes. Generally, ...

Sustainability studies for civil infrastructure have primarily focused on methods and tools for quantifying resource consumption, environmental consequences, and socio-economic implications of a project. On the other hand, ...

Traditional interpretation and interpolation techniques have been extensively used in conjunction with geotechnical in-situ teststo evaluate subsurface conditions; however, these approaches, when applied at highly variable ...

Durability is a major concern for all stabilised materials as it can reduce the structural capacity of pavement layers. One of the primary factors influencing the long-term performance of stabilised subgrade layers is ...

Expansive soils are conventionally treated with chemical stabilizers manufactured by energy-intensive processes that significantly contribute to carbon dioxide emissions globally. Geopolymers, which are synthesized from ...

A method is proposed to estimate the degradation of the first natural frequency of vibration of earthen dams with increase in strain levels induced due to seismic events. A synthesised wave, referred to as the ‘sum of ...

A research study was designed and conducted to investigate the effect of polymer emulsion treatment on permeability characteristics of subgrade soils. A commercially available polymer emulsion was used to stabilize ...
