SUSTAINABLE CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURES ADVANCES IN...

This volume includes a collection of technical papers covering two important research topics in
geotechnical engineering: (1) the behavior and treatment of expansive soils  and (2) the
characterization of rock properties. The twelve studies on expansive soils include
investigations into novel stabilization techniques for expansive soils using different
admixtures or mechanical consolidation techniques  as well as new experimental approaches to
evaluate the behavior of expansive soils. They also include an evaluation of wetting boundary
conditions on the volume change of expansive soils  as well as the role of hydrologic boundary
conditions in arid climates. The four studies on rock properties include
thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of gypsum rock  role of rock strength in blastability 
indirect methods to estimate rock strength  and variations in isotope distributions in Permian
rocks. The two broad themes in this collection  as summarized above  are representative of
local challenges facing geotechnical engineers in the Middle East  but their contributions can
also be extended to other regions of the world. This volume is part of the proceedings of the
1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures  Egypt
2017.
