Abstract

This article presents the stress-strain characteristics of loess stabilized by SiO2 nanoparticles of different diameters. Atterberg limits, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and specific surface area tests were also carried out. The phase characteristics, chemical composition, microstructure, and specific surface area of the stabilized loess were analyzed. The addition of SiO2 nanoparticles was found to improve the mechanical properties of loess soil effectively.
