The role of nano-materials and nanotechnology as a high-tech technology in geotechnical engineering
In the field of soil mechanics, various initiatives have been launched recently to use Nano- Materials (NM) to enhance the characteristics of soils. Numerous studies have been done using various methods to determine how micro- and nano- particles affect the geotechnical characteristics of soils. Most of the research done over the last ten years is reviewed in this research paper. According to the new classification, clay particles vary between 0.1 and 2 mm, while NM specimens contain particles in the range from 1 to 100nm. All findings suggested that adding Nano-Particles (NP) as a Nano Soil-Improvement (NSI) technique to soil improved its mechanical and physical characteristics, the type, quality, and quantity of NM applied, as well as the properties of the native soil, all influence this enhancement natural soil properties. In this paper, a new categorization was introduced to investigate the important effects of NP and NM on soil properties as a Nano Ground-Improvement (NGI) method.
