The study systematically investigated the small strain shear stiffness of soft clay stabilized with cement and nano-SiO2 through a series of bender element tests. Experimental results showed that the shear stiffness of the stabilized clay significantly increased with higher cement content, nano-SiO2 percentage, and longer curing time. The findings also suggested that nano-SiO2 can be used as a supplementary pozzolan to reduce the required cement content in the mixture for environmental considerations.
The accurate and efficient modification of the static and dynamic properties of problematic soils is a primary concern in geotechnical engineering. Soil stiffness, which is typically represented by a small strain shear modulus, is an essential parameter for the selection of the type and amount of soil stabilizers. In this study, the small strain shear stiffness of soft clay stabilized with cement and nano-SiO2 is systematically studied through a series of bender element tests. The shear wave velocity and small strain shear modulus of the stabilized clay are investigated over different curing periods and with different cement and nano-SiO2 concentrations. The experimental results show that the shear stiffness of the stabilized clay strongly increases with increasing cement content, nano-SiO2 percentage, and curing time. The findings also imply that nano-SiO2 is a complementary pozzolan that can be used to reduce the amount of required cement content in the mixture to account for environmental considerations.
