The shallow Soft Clayey deposit is common in Alexandria-Egypt. Most soft clays their natural state are unsuitable for supporting any structure. Thus, improvement treatments exist to strengthen these soils so that improved soil can have adequate bearing capacity without undergoing failure or producing substantial excessive settlement post construction and applied loads them. This paper presents ...

The classification of the grade of shrink and expansion for the expansive soils is very important work for constructions in expansive soil area. Accurate evaluation of the estate of expansive soil may provide scientific data and basis for the prevention of engineering design and construction. This paper brings forward the classification method for expansive soil based on fractal interpolation t...

Review of npg-2015-79 This manuscript presents multifractal analyses of nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms obtained on soil samples from 6 different soil profiles in São Paulo State, Brazil. There is very little that is new here, and the manuscript essentially repeats the study by Paz-Ferreiro et al. (2013), but in a different geographic area and with some less clayey soils. Although ...

Electro-osmosis in clayey soils and sediments, for purposes of clay consolidation, dewatering, or cleanup, and electro injection in porous media is widespread recent decades. It is experimentally found that the chemical properties of porous media especially PH change the characteristics of media. Electro-osmotic conductivity is a function of soil and grout material chemistry, altering with time...
