Innovative Approaches to Soil Improvement: Separating Macro, Micro, Nano, and Pico Additives for the Future of Physical Modelling in Geotechnical Engineering
Innovative Approaches to Soil Improvement: Separating Macro, Micro, Nano, and Pico Additives for the Future of Physical Modelling in Geotechnical Engineering
In this paper, a new idea for the separation of additives in various sizes is prescribed. Until now, most researchers have used additives with existing sizes and scales in various soil stabilization techniques. However, we are developing new theories in physics and materials science, necessitating a renewal of our ideas and theories on the scale and size of additives and materials. In geotechnical engineering, a new theory for the description of macro, micro, nano, and pico -additives and the performance of various additives in soil mechanics laboratories is evaluated in this research. The evaluation of various additives in different scales and sizes, from macro to nano, can initiate a new step in various soil improvement projects and related techniques. According to this study, nano-additives demonstrated good performance in soil improvement, potentially paving the way for the future of physical modeling in geotechnical engineering. The role of these theories can help the geotechnical engineering community find new solutions for existing crises such as land subsidence, sinkholes, and other issues. These theories are also relevant to ongoing developments in geotechnical engineering in various countries worldwide.
