Global insights into micro-macro mechanisms and environmental implications of limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) for sustainable construction applications.

Limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) has gained attention in the research paradigm, and useful data is available in scattered form, necessitates comprehensive review to provide global insight into important research questions, i.e., micro-macro response, and environmental implications, keeping in view the future research directions.

Remediation methods of heavy metal contaminated soils from environmental and geotechnical standpoints.

Heavy metal contaminated soil (HMCS) threatens world health and sustainable growth, owing to which numerous remediation methods have been devised. Meanwhile, environmental sustainability and geotechnical serviceability of remediated HMCS are important considerations for reusing such soils and achieving sustainable development goals; therefore, these considerations are critically reviewed in this article. For this purpose, different onsite and offsite remediation methods are evaluated from environmental and geotechnical standpoints.

Design optimization and statistical modeling of recycled waste-based additive for a variety of construction scenarios on heaving ground.

To minimize the environmental burdens and to promote natural resource conservation and sustainability, a composite additive (CA) is proposed using paper and wood industry waste, i.e., lignosulphonate (LS) and lime (LM) as a replacement for conventional stabilizers.
