Understanding the performance of expansive subgrade materials treated with non-traditional stabilisers: A review (2021)
Journal Article

13 Expansive soils are problematic soils which pose a risk to the safety of civil engineering 14 structures. These soils can be treated by compaction or by adding additives to the soil. 15 Where the strength and properties of expansive soil cannot be...

Inclusion of RoadCem additive in cementitious materials for soil stabilization (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The use of sustainable binders in soil stabilization has dominated most discussions in geotechnical engineering in recent years. In keeping with the objective of reducing carbon foot-printing, a zeolite/alkali earth metal-based additive called “RoadC...

Machine learning regression and classification algorithms utilised for strength prediction of OPC/by-product materials improved soils (2021)
Journal Article

In this study, stand-alone machine (ML) models (Bayesian regressor (BLR), least square linear regressor (REG), artificial neural networks (ANN), and logistic regression (LR)), tree-ensemble ML models (boosted decision tree (BDT), random decision fore...

Consistency and mechanical properties of sustainable concrete blended with brick dust waste cementitious materials (2021)
Journal Article

The reuse of waste materials in civil engineering projects has become the topic for many researchers due to their economic and environmental benefits. In this study, brick dust waste (BDW) derived from cutting of masonry bricks and demolition waste w...

Experimental study on the use of RoadCem blended with by-product cementitious materials for stabilisation of clay soils (2021)
Journal Article

This work presents an experimental study on the physical, mechanical and microstructural characteristics of two clay soils treated with by-product materials (GGBS and PFA) blended with a nano technology-based additive called RC (RC). The soils were i... Read More about Experimental study on the use of RoadCem blended with by-product cementitious materials for stabilisation of clay soils.

Appropriate use of lime in the study of the physicochemical behaviour of stabilised lateritic soil under continuous water ingress (2020)
Journal Article

Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Lime stabilisation is one of the traditional methods of improving the engineering properties of lateritic soils for use as subgrade and foundation materials for the construction of road pavements and highway embankm...

Incorporation of a nanotechnology-based product in cementitious binders for sustainable mitigation of sulphate-induced heaving of stabilised soils (2020)
Journal Article

Sulphate-induced heaving in soils is a common problem caused mostly by the use of calcium-based binders in the stabilisation of sulphate-bearing soils. Sulphate-induced heaving is attributed to precipitation and growth of ettringite minerals in a hig...

An overview of soil–water characteristic curves of stabilised soils and their influential factors (2020)
Journal Article

Since unsaturated soil conditions are normally experienced above the groundwater table, most treated or stabilised soils for roadworks, earth dams’ embankments, landfill sites, hydraulic barriers etc. could be regarded as existing in this region. The... Read More about An overview of soil–water characteristic curves of stabilised soils and their influential factors.

Incorporation of a nanotechnology-based additive in cementitious products for clay stabilisation (2020)
Journal Article

The mechanical performances and water retention characteristics of clays, stabilised by partial substitution of cement with by-products and inclusion of a nanotechnology-based additive called RoadCem (RC), are studied in this research. The unconfined... Read More about Incorporation of a nanotechnology-based additive in cementitious products for clay stabilisation.

Mechanical properties and microstructure of fibre-reinforced clay blended with by-product cementitious materials (2020)
Journal Article

Clayey soils endure adverse changes in strength and volume due to seasonal changes in moisture content and temperature. It has been well recognised that high cement content has been successfully employed in improving the mechanical properties of clay...
