The effect of nano-CaCO3 on the geotechnical properties of clayey sand (SC) soil was investigated. SC soil containing 10%, 20% and 30% clay and 0.3%, 0.7%, 1.1% and 1.5% nano-CaCO3 were cured for 7, 14 and 28 days and then subjected to uniaxial compression testing. The experimental results were analyzed numerically by the group method of data handling using an artificial neural network. Crystalline phases were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) to study the microstructure of soil specimens improved with nano-CaCO3. The addition of nano-CaCO3 to SC specimens, especially those with lower clay contents, increased their uniaxial compressive strength and the compressive strength increased over time. An optimum nano-CaCO3 level of 0.7% was determined for soil containing 10% and 20% clay and 1.1% for soil containing 30% clay. The results indicated a decrease in deformation and increase in stiffness of the soil with the addition of nano-CaCO3. The effect of nano-CaCO3 on the ultimate compressive strength of the soil in the XRD patterns indicated an increase in the recrystallization of the particles. Numerical analysis of the experimental results found a correlation for predicting the uniaxial compressive strength of the improved SC soil with a mean error of 4%.
