A REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION OF NANOMATERIALS IN IMPROVING THE ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF SEDIMENTARY SOILS
This study evaluates the physico-mechanical and microstructural properties of collapsible soils stabilized with various stabilizing
agents. The effects of cement, lime, nano-silica, nano-clay, and other stabilizers on soil properties were analyzed. The results
showed that stabilization significantly improves soil strength, deformation stability, and water resistance. Microstructural analysis
confirmed the formation of strong bonds between soil particles. The combination of nano-silica and cement demonstrated the
highest efficiency. The findings provide a scientific and practical basis for improving collapsible soil stabilization technologies and
enhancing geotechnical design.
