Stabilization of soft-soils with Nano-Magnesium Oxide

  • Abstract:
  • To improve engineering characteristics, use local soil for building. Silty and siltey soils have nano-voids depending on particle size. Due to its high plasticity index, silt soil settles more, is less stable, and changes structure. Thus, soil additives are needed to improve characteristics. Recently, nanoparticles have been used in geotechnical engineering to improve soil stability and strength. This article examines how Nano Magnesium Oxide (N-MgO) affects soil geotechnical qualities. The effects of N-MgO on UCS and k were examined. The best soil N-MgO dose was 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%. The creation of CSH gels connects soil particles and improves UCS, reducing ‘k’ and settling of soil samples regardless of N-MgO concentration or soil type. The treated and untreated experimental findings based on micro structural analysis. This amorphous N-MgO is indicated for stabilizing poor soils of any sort.
