However, it raises questions regarding long-term durability when chemical stabilization is applied. In this study, the effects of curing duration and dosage on the soil&#8217;s microstructure, as well as its mechanical and hydraulic properties were investigated first on compacted soils with varying binder contents. A specific dosage was then selected for further study, and its characteristics served as a baseline to evaluate the effects of wetting and drying cycles. Finally, a physical model of a dike was designed and constructed to investigate how water level variations affect the treated soil properties.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-485996 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Short bio:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mohamed Ali is trained as a civil engineer. He first worked as a structural engineer for some time in Tunisia, focusing on buildings and various civil engineering works. His interest in geotechnics led him to enroll in the MSROE Master&#8217;s program, from which he graduated in 2023. He is currently enrolled in a PhD program under the supervision of Prof. Yujun Cui, in collaboration with TRACTEBEL and the SPTF, to study the long-term behavior of treated soils applied to the stabilization of dikes.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experimental investigation into the long-term behavior of silty soil treated with lime and a hydraulic binder for the stabilization of hydraulic structures such as dams and dikes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-20657","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/navier-lab.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/20657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/navier-lab.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/navier-lab.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/navier-lab.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/navier-lab.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
