Inrecent years, large steps have been taken in the field of nanotechnology, and many
nanotechnology-based breakthroughs have been made in geotechnical engineering. It is …

Triggered liquefaction in earthquakes, that soil displays fluid-like characteristics caused by
an on-going increase of pore water pressure and reduction of the effective stress, can …

Loess soils are aeolian deposits of primarily silt sized soil particles, which are often lightly
cemented. The wind-blown depositional process of loess formation yields a relatively loose …

Earthquake-induced liquefaction causes soil to exhibit fluidlike behavior due to a sudden
increase in pore water pressure and a concurrent decrease in effective stress. The …

This paper presents an experimental study aiming to understand the impacts of
nanomaterials on collapsible soil Behavior. Collapsible soils are among problematic soils …

This paper reports results of a full-scale field test to assess the performance of dilute
colloidal silica stabilizer in reducing the settlement of liquefiable soil. Slow injection methods …

Passive site stabilization is a new technology proposed for nondisruptive mitigation of
liquefaction risk at developed sites susceptible to liquefaction. It is based on the concept 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 …

This paper summarizes the experimental results of a series of cyclic simple shear tests on
liquefiable silty sand with and without sample improvement with colloidal silica grout. The …
