Abstract:
Expansive clay soils include increased voids that provide challenges for structural foundations during loading and unloading; however, these issues may be mitigated by stabilising the soil with appropriate additives in suitable proportions. The additives consist of cement, lime, and chemicals that fill cavities at a micro level. Subsequently, the stabilised soil exhibited increased issues related to weather conditions, particularly with durability qualities such as freezing and thawing, resulting from significant temperature fluctuations that adversely impacted the soil. In these scenarios, soils are improved by stabilisation using novel methods that use nanoparticles, which plug holes at the nanoscale and increase all geotechnical qualities during freeze-thaw cycles. This research addresses the stabilisation of soft soils using nanosilica. The ideal dose of nanosilica is determined by compaction properties. The engineering characteristics were assessed using the appropriate dose of nanosilica. The extracted nanosilica is used in many applications within building pathology and repair. The test findings indicate that the geotechnical qualities are significantly enhanced using nanosilica. The soil stabilisation approach reduced building pathology and restoration methods, resulting in enhanced building quality and longevity.
