Abstract

The article delves into the innovative use of Laponite, a synthetic nanoclay, for ground improvement, particularly in mitigating liquefaction. It discusses the significant advancements in ground improvement techniques over the last decade, with a focus on the use of Laponite to enhance soil properties while addressing sustainability concerns. The study compares the behavior of dry-mixed and permeated Laponite-treated sand specimens, examining their response under small, intermediate, and large strain conditions. It highlights the critical role of specimen preparation methods in influencing the performance of Laponite-treated sand, providing valuable insights into its potential for real-world applications. The experimental methods, including consolidated undrained triaxial and resonant column tests, are detailed, along with the results and discussion on the dynamic properties and fabric of the treated sand. The findings offer a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms by which Laponite improves soil resistance to liquefaction, paving the way for more effective and sustainable ground improvement strategies.
