Soil Stabilization using Nano Materials
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The main aim of the study is to investigate the effect of addition of different nanomaterial's including Nano clay, Nano cement in the soft soil sample to determine its various properties. Various amount of nanomaterial’s (0.5% to 2%) were added to the soil to study their effect on the soil's compaction characteristics, consistency limits and compressive strength. Improvements in the geotechnical properties depended on the type of nanomaterial added and increase in the percentage of each of the nanomaterial’s increased the maximum dry density of the soil. The linear shrinkage and plasticity index decreased with increasing amount of nanomaterial’s content. The unconfined compressive strength increased as the nanomaterial’s content increased up to a certain percentage in the soil and then decreased afterwards.
