The effect of quarry dust based geopolymer cement (QDbGPC) and crushed waste glasses (CWG) on the triaxial and density characteristics of expansive test soil was investigated under laboratory conditions. Quarry dust is a solid waste the management of which poses a big problem to construction and env...
