Predictive models of volumetric stability (durability) and erodibility of lateritic soil treated with different nanotextured bio-ashes with application of loss of strength on immersion; GP, ANN and EPR performance study

Volumetric stability and erodibility are important soil properties influenced by moisture through raindrops and eventual runoff and the rise in water tables during wet seasons. Compacted subgrade materials made of clay respond to water ingress through swelling and shrinking in turn during drying and...
