Research Projects And Publications
- Stabilization Of Sulfate-Rich Expansive Soils Using Eco-Friendly Materials for Construction Purposes
study aims to investigate the feasibility of stabilizing sulfate-rich expansive soils using a novel eco-friendly kaolin (K)-based geopolymer (GP) for the long-term durability of United kingdom transportation infrastructure. Laboratory studies were undertaken to understand the influence of the geopolymer composition and dosage percentage for different curing periods in stabilizing the sulfate-rich expansive soils. Engineering tests such as the linear shrinkage , California bearing ratio(CBR) , Consolidation test ,Linear expansion test , Triaxial test and unconfined compressive strength tests were performed to compare the behavior of natural, lime-stabilized, and geopolymer-stabilized soils over different curing periods.
- COD removal from sanitary landfill leachate through chemical oxidation
- Completed projects on integrated structural design and applying BIM processes.
