The geomechanical properties of soils treated with nanosilica particles
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023 This study examines the effect of nanosilica (NS) additive to improve the mechanical properties of clay, clayey sand, and sand. The engineering properties of the soils were investigated through Atterberg limits, compaction, unconfined compression ...

Effect of Sand and Sand‐Lime Piles on the Behavior of Expansive Clay Soil
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021 Expansive clay soil causes serious problems to many structures due to its swelling and shrinkage during wet and dry seasons. With the existence of expansive soil in Ahkmim new city, Sohag governorate, Egypt, some light buildings, road pavements, and buried pipelines have shown some damage.
