Mitigation of Expansive Soil Problems by Using Helical Piles with Additives
Abstract: In this study, nine essential additives in addition to three mixed additives with different ratios have been chosen and implemented during the installation of helical pile. The choice took into consideration that some of the additives were cheap and available in the local market; others were waste materials such as ceramic, brick fragments and coal fly ash. Some relatively expensive additives such as silica fumes were also added because it …
