Expansive soils can cause large-scale damage to the infrastructure. Soil stabilization with Portland cement and lime has been widely utilized as a solution to this problem. However, these stabilizers are non-renewable and energy-intensive. Alkali-activated binders are alternatives with lower carbon dioxide emissions. This research evaluated an expansive...
View ArticleClimate change is humanity’s 21st century biggest challenge. Due to the higher rates of soil sealing, its effects and consequences are expected to be more severe in cities. To mitigate climate change effects or adapt cities to them, several approaches can be adopted, namely by adopting nature-based solutions, such as blue and green infrastruct...
View ArticleThe inclinometer probe is used to measure angle variations along a soil profile. These variations can be transformed into horizontal displacements along the profile depth, enabling the understanding of the deformation of geotechnical structures (e.g., tailings dams, embankment dams, rockfill dams, and excavations) and natural slopes. Such knowledge can ...
View ArticleThis special issue contains fifteen (15) peer-reviewed papers on geotechnical engineering education (Geo-engineering education). The themed issue includes the fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of geo-engineering: geomechanics (soil mechanics and rock mechanics), engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, and environmental engineering.
