Indigenous Technique of Biochar Production and Effect of Biochar Application on the Geotechnical Properties of the Expansive Soils
Abstract: Expansive soils have been a source of risk to human beings as they causes huge economic loss including damage to buildings, roads and other civil infrastructures because of their low compressive strength and excessive settlement characteristics. One of the available options is to replace such soils before starting any civil engineering construction but looking to huge costs involved in replacement; it is generally not practiced nowadays. Another viable alternative is …
