Effect of freeze–thaw cycles on the strength and physical properties of cement-stabilised soil containing recycled bassanite and coal ash

Effects of freeze–thaw cycles on a fiber reinforced fine grained soil in relation to geotechnical parameters

“…With respect to freezing and thawing durability, the first or second cycle of freeze-thaw, markedly decreases the unconfined compressive strength of both treated and untreated cement stabilised soils, but further cycles have little additional influence (Shibi and Kamei, 2014). Finally Gullu and Khudir (2014) showed that although the potential effective rates of the stabilizers are found to be 0.75% jute fiber, 0.25% steel fiber and 4% lime for soil stabilization but as the freeze-thaw cycles increase, the UCS values decrease at the treatments, except for the additions of jute fiber alone.…”

Experimental study on the engineering properties of expansive soil treated with Al13

“…In practical engineering, the durability of stabilized soil is a common problem of many traditional stabilizers [44][45][46][47][48][49] . However, Yazdandoust et al 50 claimed that the beneficial effects of polymer stabilization is preserved and not lost after cyclic wetting and drying.…”

Freeze–thaw resistance and chloride-ion penetration of cement-stabilized clay exposed to sulfate attack

“…The first or second cycles of freeze-thaw action substantially decreased the unconfined compressive strength of both treated and untreated cement-stabilized soils; however, the influence of subsequent cycles was less remarkable. Volume after freezing increased slightly with increase in number of freeze-thaw cycles (Shibi and Kamei, 2014). Cui et al (2014) investigated the mechanical and microstructural properties of a silty clay by employing cyclic triaxial tests, static triaxial tests as well as SEM analyses.…”

“…The authors proposed a critical deviator stress attenuation coefficient to determine the optimal modification method and appropriate mixture proportions for soils exposed to freeze-thaw action. The strength and physical properties of cement-stabilized soil containing recycled bassanite and coal ash after subjected to freeze-thaw effects were investigated by Shibi and Kamei (2014). For this aim, a very soft clay was stabilized with cement at a percentage of 5% by dry weight of soil.…”
