The Effect of expanded polystyrene and cement on properties of sand soils for foundation use
(17th African Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019-10)
The increase in Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) waste in Uganda is prone to cause serious environmental pollution owing to the related poor disposal methods. The common practices include open disposal and/or burning which are ...
Designing a Paved Road Using Geogrids to Reduce the Thickness of the Pavement Layers
(9th South African Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference, 2017)
Performance and durability of road pavements are significantly dependent on the strength and stability of the underlying soil layers, most especially the subgrade pavement layer. Currently, in Uganda most roads are constructed ...
Use of Crushed Concrete Aggregate Waste in Stabilization of Clayey Soils for Sub Base Pavement Construction
(9th South African Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference, 13, 14 & 15 September 2017, 2017)
The research aimed at stabilizing lateritic soils, using crushed concrete aggregates from demolished buildings, foundations, roads and other structures, for use as sub-base for a paved road. Lateritic soils were sampled ...
Use of Lime Piles as an Alternative Method for Stabilisation of Road Embankments
(9th South African Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference, 2017)
The durability and performance of an embankment depends on its stability. Several options are available for controlling stability and settlement problems associated with embankment slopes.
One of them involves using ...
