Soil stabilization has become useful solution to treat the weak soil to achieve the required engineering properties. Soil stabilization by adding materials such as cement, lime, bitumen, etc. is the effective method for improving the geotechnical properties of soil which have been applied for many years now. This work is intended to study the effect of adding nano-copper on geotechnical properties of black cotton soil i.e. liquid limit, compaction characteristics, unconfined compression strength, CBR value and swelling pressure. Nanocopper was mixed with soil in three different percentages (i.e. 1, 1.5 and 2.5 % by weight of soil). The optimum nano-copper content found to be 1.5 % for attaining the maximum strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
