• A Comparative Study of the Effectiveness of Different Additives on the Expansion Behavior of Clays
  The stabilization of volume changes due to oscillations of the humidity of a clay was studied by using different chemical agents. A clay from the region of Jacarandas, Queretaro in Mexico was used in the study. The experimental study included the evaluation of the main index properties of the soil, along with a characterization of the materials through X-Ray Diffraction.

• A Soil Model for the Overconsolidated Region of Clays
  The paper presents an elastoplastic model developed for the overconsolidated region of clays. In the model, the stiffness of the soil is related to its previous history introducing memory points.

• Consolidation and Desiccation of Soft Soils
  Rational new desiccation theory for modelling the overall consolidation and desiccation process of soft soils was developed that eliminates the shortcoming of exsisting studies. The theory has four main components: consolidation under one-dimensional compression, desiccation under one-dimensional shrinkage, propogation of vertical cracks, and desiccation under three-dimensional shrinkage.

• Consolidation Coefficient and Swelling Potential for the Expansive Soils in Jordan
  Large areas of Amman, the capital of Jordan, are covered with expansive clay soils, which derived mainly from marl, limestone and chert. The swelling and shrinkage potential of these soils caused by mineralogical constituents, and the surrounding environment, create serious problems to different types of construction. In order to determine the consolidation coefficients, swelling potential and Young’s modulus of these soils, the Odometer tests were performed.
