Overview

This review highlights key geotechnical properties improved by sustainable techniques in Ecuadorian coastal soils, suggesting potential solutions for civil works.

Key Points

  • Sustainable techniques utilizing agricultural waste significantly improve geotechnical properties of expansive soils.
  • The combination of rice husk ash and recycled ceramics shows promising results in Ecuadorian coastal soils.
  • Natural fibers like jute can increase mechanical strength, with UCS improvement by up to 130%.
  • Long-term data and predictive models are needed for effective soil stabilization approaches in Ecuador's climate.
