Enhancing the engineering properties of expansive soil using bagasse ash, bagasse fibre and hydrated lime
Expansive soils exhibit massive volume change against fluctuations of moisture content. Shrinkage and expansion of soil can commonly take place near the ground surface, where it is directly subjected to seasonal and environmental variations. Construction of civil engineering structures on expansive …

Quantifying Properties and Variability of Expansive Soils in Selected Map Units
A study of 12 expansive soils in four major physiographic provinces in Virginia was initiated to examine and quantify the relationship between shrink-swell potential, shrink-swell indices, and soil properties. The mineralogy classes, soil series, and (physiographic provinces, parent materials) …

A Mechanistic Analysis Based Decision Support System for Scheduling Optimal Pipeline Replacement
… the earth load, traffic load, internal pressure, expansive soil loads, thermal, and frost loads. The PDM simulates the deterioration of the pipe due to corrosion resulting from the physical characteristics of the pipe environment. The pipe deterioration effect is modeled in two stages. First, the …
