Loess Soil Stabilization by Means of SiO2 Nanoparticles

This article presents the stress-strain characteristics of loess stabilized by SiO 2 nanoparticles of different diameters. Atterberg limits, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and specific surface area tests were also carried out. The phase characteristics, chem...

Description
Summary:This article presents the stress-strain characteristics of loess stabilized by SiO 2 nanoparticles of different diameters. Atterberg limits, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and specific surface area tests were also carried out. The phase characteristics, chemical composition, microstructure, and specific surface area of the stabilized loess were analyzed. The addition of SiO 2 nanoparticles was found to improve the mechanical properties of loess soil effectively.
