Experimental investigation on stabilization of clay soil using nano-materials and white cement
TL;DR: In this paper, a study carried out to infer the improvements in the properties of clay soil with white cement and nano-silica in varying percentages was carried out and the test results showed that the optimum dosage of nano silica alone and white cement alone added to soil was 7% by weight of soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance Study on Stabilization of Fine Grained Clay Soils Using Calcium Source Producing Microbes
TL;DR: In this article, two types of bacteria (L. fusiformis and S. pasteurii) were used to generate calcium carbonate precipitation and the experimental test results showed that the BCCP process significantly improved the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of both soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of nano-silica and sodium silicate on the strength characteristics of clay soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the influence of nano-silica and sodium silicate on the strength characteristics of clay soils and found that the incorporation of 6% nano silica to the clay soil improved the UC strength by 421.99% and Young's modulus by 515.73%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of waste eggshell as a source of calcium in bacterial bio-cementation to enhance the engineering characteristics of sand
Combined effect of nano-silica and randomly distributed fibers on the strength behavior of clay soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of nano-silica and polypropylene fiber in problematic clay-ey soil to enhance the shear strength and compaction characteristics was investigated, and it was observed that the diameter of nanoparticles used in this study was in the range of 10-20nm.
