Geotechnical properties of the soils modified with nanomaterials: A comprehensive review

In this paper, we discussed previous studies on the use of nanoparticles in soil, their properties, their effects on soil and the equipment used in nanotechnology. A new categorization was introduced and the significant effects of nanoparticles on the properties of soil were studied. According to the new categorization, clay particles vary between 0.1 and 2 μm, while nanosol contains particles in the range of 1-100 nm.
