Expansive soil is the most predominant geologic hazard which shows a large amount of shrinkage and swelling with changes in their moisture content. This study investigates the macro-mechanical and micro-structural behaviours of dredged natural expansive clay from coal mining treated with ordinary Portland cement or hydrated lime addition. The stabilised expansive soil aims for possible reuse as pavement materials. Mechanical testing determined geotechnical engineering properties, including free swelling potential, California bearing ratio, unconfined compressive strength, resilient modulus, and shear wave velocity. The microstructures of treated soils are observed by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy to understand the behaviour of the expansive clay blended with cement and lime. Test results confirmed that cement and lime are effective agents for improving the swelling behaviour and other engineering properties of natural expansive clay. In general, chemical treatments reduce the swelling and increase the strength and modulus of expansive clay, subjected to chemical content and curing time. Scanning electron microscopy analysis can observe the increase in formation of particle clusters with curing period, and x-ray diffraction patterns display hydration and pozzolanic products from chemical particles. The correlations of mechanical properties and microstructures for chemical stabilised expansive clay are recommended.

Swelling and shrinkage characteristics of expansive fine grained soil cause volumetric changes followed by distress and damage to the structures. Soil stabilization can be explained as the alteration of the soil properties by chemical, mechanical or any other means in order to enhance the engineering properties of the soil. Utilization of industrial wastes in soil stabilization is cost effective and environment friendly. This paper presents an experimental study on stabilization of expansive soil using industrial wastes, viz. fly ash and dolochar. The paper includes the evaluation of engineering properties like unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratio (CBR) of expansive soil collected from Balasore district of Odisha stabilized with fly ash and dolochar in different proportions and to predict the influence of these additives on engineering properties and strength characteristics of expansive soil. Both fly ash and dolochar were found to increase the CBR and decrease many index properties such as liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index, swelling index and UCS, thus enhancing the strength parameters of expansive soil.

The volume changes associated with moisture or suction variation in expansive soils are of geotechnical and geoenvironmental design concern. These changes can impact the performance of infrastructure projects and lightweight structures. Assessment of unsaturated function for these materials leads to better interpretation and understanding, as well as providing accurate and economic design. In this study, expansive soils from different regions of Saudi Arabia were studied for their basic properties including gradation, plasticity and shrinkage, swelling, and consolidation characteristics. The unsaturated soil functions of saturated water content, air-entry values, and residual states were determined by conducting the tests for the entire soil water characteristic curves (SWCC) using different techniques. An attempt has been made to provide a prediction model for unsaturated properties based on the basic properties of these soils. Once the profile of SWCC has been predicted the time and cost for many tests can be saved. These predictions can be utilized in practice for the application of unsaturated soil mechanics on geotechnical and geoenvironmental projects.

Before the field applications, several basic laboratory test were the characteristics of workability and strength of the concrete containing CSA expansive additive. As a result, high strength concrete using CSA expansive additive show similar workability and compressive to that of plain concrete, the optimum replacement ratio of them to plain concrete were obtained for CSA expansive additive 10%. On the other hand, it can be concluded that the use of CSA component is effective to prevent shrinkage crack reducing concrete using superplasticizer and to achive volume stability of concrete structure.

This study is intended to investigate the properties of expansion of concrete under various curing environment with expansive additives. In construction field, expansive additives, which are anaiable to prevent from the diverse cracks caused by drying shrinkage are not expected to accomplish the expantion we expected because of both the absence of the know ledge change, loss of weight and dynamic of elasticty under various unit contents of expansive additives and curing condtion.

This study is investigate the properties of high performance concrete at W/B of 35%, used with silica fume and CSA expansive additives, which is used to improve the concrete qualities and prevent the drying-shrinkage. According to the results, the fluidity of concrete shows a decline with the increase of replacement percentage of silica fume and proportions of expansive additives. A higher strength is obtained at 5% of replacement percentage of silica fume, while the compensation achieves in drying-shrinkage of concrete at 5% of expansive additives.

In this paper, the compensation of the shrinkage in high performance concrete by applying CSA expansive additives are discussed. According to toe experimental results, fluidity and strength decrease with the increase of the dosage of expansive additives. When 5% of expansive additive are mixed, not only high fluidity and strength, but also the compensation of drying-shrinkage can be achieved.

We introduce the notion of expansivity for a continuous surjection on a compact metric space, as the positively and negatively expansive map. We also prove that some well-known properties about positively expansive maps in [2] hold by using our definition.

In this paper, the notion of two-sided limit shadowing property is considered for a positively expansive open map. More precisely, let f be a positively expansive open map of a compact metric space X. It is proved that if f is topologically mixing, then it has the two-sided limit shadowing property. As a corollary, we have that if X is connected, then the notions of the two-sided limit shadowing property and the average-shadowing property are equivalent.
