Enhancing the engineering properties of subgrade materials using processed waste: A review (2021)
Journal Article

Subgrade materials refer to the original ground underneath a road pavement, when these materials are made up of expansive soil it is referred to as expansive subgrade. Sometimes, these materials do not have sufficient capacity to support the weight o... Read More about Enhancing the engineering properties of subgrade materials using processed waste: A review.

Improved prediction of clay soil expansion using machine learning algorithms and meta-heuristic dichotomous ensemble classifiers (2021)
Journal Article

Soil swelling-related disaster is considered as one of the most devastating geo-hazards in modern history. Hence, proper determination of a soil's ability to expand is very vital for achieving a secure and safe ground for infrastructures. Accordingly...
