Abstract: Abstract The disordering of the atomic network of minerals typically results in swelling of the structure. However, the origin of such expansion and the extent thereof remain unclear. Here, we conduct a series of molecular… read more here.

Abstract: Sulfate-induced expansion resulting from the formation of ettringite in sulfate-bearing soil stabilised with calcium-based stabilisers is a problematic issue with technical and economic implications. Thus, this research examines the viability of the co-addition of lime… read more here.
