Introduction of nanotechnology in civil engineering especially in geotechnical engineering is opening new ways and fields of research and development. Nanomaterials are attracting researchers in various fields for their novel behavior and applications. Due to less availability, the open literature in the field of ground improvement using nanomaterials demands more experimental studies. Nanotechnology encapsulates nanomaterials and nanoparticles ranging from 20 to 100 nm. This study focuses on the ground improvement behavior of the nanomaterials. Also, the comparison of three different nanomaterials with changing its amount in the soil is studied. The study has been carried out with the clayey soil of Aligarh City of Uttar Pradesh by using nanomaterials which includes nano-Fe2O3, SWCNTs and MWCNTs by varying its amount in the soil. The present study deals with the determination of the liquid limit, plastic limit and parameters like cohesion and angle of friction of the soil having different proportions of different nanomaterials. The tests are performed as per the Indian Standard Codes. A trend has been observed that liquid and plastic limits show downfall as the amount of nanomaterial is increased, whereas a rise in shear strength parameter cohesion (C) and angle of friction (Φ) is observed. It is concluded that by addition of very small quantity of nanomaterial, an appreciable improvement and betterment in the properties of clayey soil can be achieved.
