Stabilization of a residual soil using calcium and magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles: A quick precipitation method
The current study examines the potential of using calcium and magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles synthetized through a quick precipitation method as soil stabilizers for improving the engineering properties of tropical residual soil. The engineering properties of untreated and nanoparticles-treated s...
