Stabilising and strengthening reactive soil using sustainable material

Project Description:

Recycled waste materials have been employed to stabilize clayey soil by many practitioners in geotechnical engineering. However, the effects on hydraulic conductivity characteristic and its underlying mechanism have been rarely explored. The study aims to examine the hydraulic conductivity characteristics of soil reinforced with inclusion of selected recycled waste granules under changing confinement.
