The use of fine portions from construction and demolition waste for expansive soil stabilization: A review (2022)
Journal Article
Ujile, M. C., & Abbey, S. J. (2022). The use of fine portions from construction and demolition waste for expansive soil stabilization: A review. Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering, 16(7), 803–816. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11709-022-0835-z

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) are the largest waste products in the world today and competes as a viable recycled additive material in place of natural aggregates. Due to the increase in compressive strength of different mix proportions of...
