Abstract
Weak soils, characterized by their low strength and high compressibility, pose significant challenges to construction projects. Traditional methods of soil stabilization often involve the use of lime or cement, which can be expensive and environmentally unfriendly. In recent years, nanomaterials have emerged as a promising alternative for improving the geotechnical properties of weak soils. This review study comprehensively investigates the application of various nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes, nano clay, and nano-silica, to stabilize weak soils. The mechanisms of interaction between nanomaterials and soil particles are discussed, along with their effects on soil properties such as strength, stiffness, and permeability. Additionally, the environmental implications and economic feasibility of using nanomaterials for soil stabilization are considered. Based on the findings of this review, it is concluded that nanomaterials offer a viable and effective approach to enhance the geotechnical performance of weak soils and metastable soils such as gypseous soil. Further research is recommended to optimize the use of nanomaterials in practical applications and to address any potential challenges associated with their implementation.
