  • Abstract:
  • Expansive soil contains more voids that impact geotechnical properties, which effects wet-dry cycles must consider when choosing soil for strong foundations of any civil engineering structures. Wet-dry cycles happens due to drastic changes in groundwater levels, heavy rains, and these effected on beneath the foundations to make soil weak against geotechnical properties of the soil. This failure resisted with innovative technology is nanotechnology: nanomaterials added to weak soil. This paper deals with determining geotechnical properties of soil effected on subgrade with and without mixed Nanoclay. Tests for engineering properties are Lightweight Compaction, Permeability, Unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and CBR tests. These result in the permeability, settlements of soil controlled with Nanoclay, and increases the shear strength of soft-soil even CBR effected on the soil.
