Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials (2023)
Journal Article
Abbey, S. J., Amakye, S. Y., Eyo, E. U., Booth, C. A., & Jeremiah, J. J. (2023). Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials. Materials, 16(8), 3124. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma16083124

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
Abbey, S. J., Ghassan, N., Booth, C. A., & Nukah, P. D. (in press). Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending. Case Studies in Construction Materials,

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
Jeremiah, J. J., Abbey, S. J., Booth, C. A., & Kashyap, A. (2023). Behaviour and microstructural characteristics of lime-GGBS-treated kaolin clay contaminated with gypsum. Materials, 16(2), 874. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma16020874

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...
