Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials (2023)
Journal Article

This work presents an experimental study on the physico-mechanical and microstructural characteristics of stabilised soils and the effect of wetting and drying cycles on their durability as road subgrade materials. The durability of expansive road su... Read More about Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials.

Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending (2023)
Journal Article

This study presents a novel Lytag-silica fume concrete (LSFC) for structural and other construction applications. The evaluation of compressive strength development and stress strain relationships of the LSFC light weight was carried out to determine...

Behaviour and microstructural characteristics of lime-GGBS-treated kaolin clay contaminated with gypsum (2023)
Journal Article

In this experimental study, the physico-mechanical and microstructural properties of sulphate-bearing clays have been investigated. Sulphate bearing soils constituted by mixing kaolin and gypsum at 0%, 15%, 25%, and 35% gypsum contents were treated w...

Evaluation of the structural performance of low carbon concrete (2022)
Journal Article

Evaluation of the effect of embodied carbon reduction using an optimized design section for a ground beam, use of supplementary cementitious materials, and replacement of normal aggregate with light weight aggregate on the mechanical properties of lo...

Optimisation of embodied carbon and compressive strength in low carbon concrete (2022)
Journal Article

To improve the prediction of compressive strength and embodied carbon of low carbon concrete using a program algorithm developed in MATLAB, 84 datasets of concrete mix raw materials were used. The influence of water, silica fume and ground granular b... Read More about Optimisation of embodied carbon and compressive strength in low carbon concrete.

Performance of sustainable road pavements founded on clay subgrades treated with eco-friendly cementitious materials (2022)
Journal Article

Clays encountered during road construction are mostly weak and result in major pavement failures due to their low California bearing ratio (CBR) and high swelling potential. In this study, sustainable and eco-friendly waste materials including brick...

Using Artificial Intelligence techniques to predict intrinsic compressibility characteristic of Clay (2022)
Journal Article

Reconstituted clays have often provided the basis for the interpretation and modelling of the properties of natural clays. The term “intrinsic” was introduced to describe a clay remoulded or reconstituted at moisture content up to 1.5 times its liqui...

Road pavement defect investigation using treated and untreated expansive road subgrade materials with varying plasticity index (2022)
Journal Article

Road pavement defect has been a major issue in the construction industry leading to a high cost of maintenance and sometimes a total reconstruction of the road. Expansive road subgrade materials are one of the major causes of these road defects. In t...

Strength predictive modelling of soils treated with calcium-based additives blended with eco-friendly pozzolans—A machine learning approach (2022)
Journal Article

The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of a stabilised soil is a major mechanical parameter in understanding and developing geomechanical models, and it can be estimated directly by either lab testing of retrieved core samples or remoulded samples...

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.

Characterisation and sediment-source linkages of intertidal sediment of the UK's north Sefton Coast using magnetic and textural properties: Findings and limitations (2011)
Journal Article

Sediment pathways and links to offshore processes are considered in the textural and magnetic characteristics of sediments of the intertidal flats and salt marshes of the north Sefton Coast, UK. In addition, sediment from a range of intertidal, marin...
