This study presented the overview on behavior of bentonite-sand mixture used in high level radioactive waste disposal. Both unconfined compression test and triaxial were conducted out that unsaturated-saturated samples applied temperature effect below 100 degrees Celsius. Unconfined compressive strength was determined with various temperatures different relative humidity for unsaturated specime...

Abstract Expansive soils are referred to as swelling a result of changes or modifications in the water content soil. This study aims determine how addition fly ash affects value expansive soil's free compressive strength well curing period that has been stabilized with ash. Variations were made by 5%, 10%, 20%, and 25% times 0 days, 7 14 28 days see adding affected Free Compressive Strength Val...

Due to economical and environmental issues, utilization of mineral wastes, e.g. iron ore mine tailing (IOMT), as road materials can be recommended as a sustainable alternative. In the present study, mechanical properties, as well as resistance to freezing and thawing cycles (F-T) of low plasticity clay soil stabilized with different percentages of Portland cement (0, 6, 9, 12 and 15%) and diffe...

Here we study the effects of nano clay and polypropylene fiber on unconfined compression splitting properties lime soil. Through a series compressive strength (UCS) tests (STS) tests, mechanical soil (LS), modified (NLS), (FLS), composite (NFLS) are analyzed, volume calculation formula each phase in NFLS is deduced. Nano content αn, porosity η LVi as independent variables, prediction models UCS...
