Colloidal silica (CS) is a kind of nanomaterial used in soil/rock grouting techniques in
different branches of civil engineering. Many studies have recently been performed to …

Low-pressure injection of nanosilica aqueous suspensions is often adopted to either
waterproof or increase the liquefaction resistance of granular soils. The basic principle …

The present study investigated the effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the
geotechnical properties of lime-stabilized silty clay soil using uniaxial compressive strength …

In this paper, we explore the mechanical performance of colloidal silica grout to assess its
potential for ground stabilisation and hydraulic barrier formation during decommissioning of …

Mitigation of liquefaction potential in loose granular soil can theoretically be achieved
through permeation and subsequent gelation of dilute colloidal silica stabilizer. However …

Permeation grouting is used to fill the voids in soils with particulates for the purpose of
improving soil strength. The technique has been predominatly used for cohesionless soils …

The PEST protocol has been implemented into the iTOUGH2 code, allowing the user to link
any simulation program (with ASCII-based inputs and outputs) to iTOUGH2's sensitivity …

In the booming field of nanotechnology, colloidal silica (CS) has been introduced for ground
improvement and liquefaction mitigation. It possesses a great ability to restrain pore …

Passive (site) stabilization is a novel technique for the mitigation of seismic liquefaction
which uses low-pressure injection of colloidal silica in the pores of a granular soil. The …
