Abstract
Soil Improvement (SI) plays a very important role as an inevitable matter in many development breakthroughs which have been made in geotechnical Engineering. As a matter of fact, Nanomaterials can be utilized in order to improve the geotechnical properties of soils. Several studies have hitherto been carried out in the field of geotechnical engineering to improve the soil properties by using nanomaterial technique. A variety of investigations have been done using different soil experiments to evaluate the influence of nanomaterials in soil geotechnical properties. In this study, we discussed previous studies on the effect of adding different amounts of various types of Nanomaterials on the geotechnical behavior of soils, their properties and the equipment and experiments used in nanotechnology with the aim of nanotechnology advancement in geotechnical engineering. All result showed that adding Nanomaterial to soils enhanced their physical and mechanical properties. Nano Soil-Improvement (NSI) or Nano Ground-Improvement (NGI) varies according to the type, quality, Nano-ratio added, and the characteristics of the natural soil. As a result, a new classification was introduced and the significant effects of nanomaterials on the soil properties were evaluated.
