The research aims to develop effective foundation design strategies for constructions on expansive soils in Sudan.
Conducted a systematic review of existing geotechnical literature on expansive soils.
Performed field investigations and laboratory tests to assess soil characteristics.
Utilized numerical simulations to validate the proposed predictive model.
Identified best practices for foundation design that can significantly reduce risks associated with expansive soils.
Demonstrated that incorporating a predictive model based on historical soil moisture cycles can reduce settlement risks by up to 30%.
Provided a framework for future projects that enhances foundation stability.
