The study of earthen barriers or clay liners has become very important in the field of geo-environmental engineering. The design of clay liners is based on the fact that leachate migration through clay liners depends on their hydraulic conductivity (k). Hence, a low hydraulic conductivity (k) is an important parameter in the design of clay liners. Compacted expansive clays or montmorillonite clays have a very low hydraulic conductivity. When expansive clays or montmorillonite clays are blended with fly ash (which is stabilization of the clay with fly ash), an industrial waste, the hydraulic...

Expansive soils are highly problematic by virtue of their innate capacity to undergo volume changes consequent upon changes in water content. They swell when they absorb water and shrink when they lose water to the atmosphere. As a result, civil engineering infrastructure founded in these soils get severely distressed. Hence, many innovative foundation techniques have been suggested in order to reduce the volumetric changes of these soils. This monograph is an experimental investigation on a remoulded expansive soil blended with varied amounts of calcium carbide residue (CCR) and fly ash....
