Stabilization mechanism and strength evolution of expansive soil stabilized by calcium carbide residue-rice husk ash binder: mineralogical and microstructural evidence
Expansive soils, featuring severe swelling-shrinkage behavior and low bearing capacity, pose persistent challenges to geotechnical infrastructure. As a promising alternative to lime and cement stabilizers, calcium carbide residue-rice husk ash (CCR-RHA) blends have been widely investigated, but existing studies focus m...
