Due to the increasing necessity of building on soils with insufficient bearing capacity, the development of methods for soil improvement is an important geotechnical engineering issue. One of the innovative methods of soil stabilisation is the use of nano-additives. The paper presents the influence of nanosilica on the bearing capacity under the footing under undrained conditions. For this purpose, a simple and quick unconfined compression test was used to evaluate the undrained shear strength of selected silty soil. Tests were conducted for soil without additives and with nanosilica contents of 1, 3 and 5%. All samples were compacted to the maximum dry density in a Proctor apparatus, and strength tests were conducted after 7 days of curing. The results clearly show an increase in undrained shear strength with increasing nanosilica content. Based on these data, a parametric analysis of the bearing capacity under the strip footing was performed for 4 variants of nanosilica content and for 9 loading cases. Thus, the impact of stabilisation in a practical engineering issue was presented. For all load cases the optimal dimensions of the foundation were determined. In addition, for the selected case, calculations were made for a fixed foundation dimension. All computations were performed in accordance with Eurocode 7 with GEO5 software.

Ze względu na coraz powszechniejszą konieczność posadowienia obiektów na gruntach o niewystarczającej nośności, rozwój metod ulepszania i stabilizacji podłoża gruntowego jest aktualnym wyzwaniem inżynierii geotechnicznej. Jedną z innowacyjnych metod stabilizacji gruntu jest wykorzystanie nanododatków jako materiału stabilizującego. Zaletami tego rozwiązania są mniejsza ilość dodatku wymagana do uzyskania określonej poprawy właściwości mechanicznych gruntu względem tradycyjnych metod oraz mniejszy negatywny wpływ na środowisko. W kontekście ulepszenia podłoża gruntowego nanododatkami wybór nanokrzemionki (nano SiO2) stanowi optymalne rozwiązanie z punktu widzenia skuteczności i kosztów. W pracy przedstawiono wpływ zawartości nanokrzemionki na nośność podłoża pod ławą fundamentową w warunkach bez odpływu. W praktyce warunki te występują przede wszystkim w sytuacjach przejściowych, gdy następuje szybki przyrost obciążeń. W pierwszej kolejności wykonano badania laboratoryjne mające na celu określenie parametrów wytrzymałości wybranego gruntu bez dodatku oraz stabilizowanego nanokrzemionką. W tym celu wykorzystano prosty i szybki test jednoosiowego ściskania pozwalający na ocenę wytrzymałości gruntu w warunkach bez odpływu. Badania laboratoryjne wykonano dla wybranego gruntu pylastego. Testy przeprowadzono dla czystego materiału gruntowego oraz z dodatkiem nanokrzemionki 1, 3 i 5%. Wszystkie próbki zostały zagęszczone do maksymalnej gęstości objętościowej szkieletu gruntowego w aparacie Proctora a testy wytrzymałościowe przeprowadzono po 7 dniach dojrzewania próbek. Badania wykazały średni wzrost wytrzymałości na ścinanie bez odpływu Cu odpowiednio o 18.1%, 54.9% i 76.0% w porównaniu do gruntu bez dodatku. Zaobserwowano również znaczny wzrost modułu siecznego Eu50 tj. odpowiednio 29.7%, 111.0% i 120.1%. W przypadku wytrzymałości stwierdzono liniową zależność wytrzymałości od zawartości nanokrzemionki. Dla sztywności ta zależność była inna, jednak ze względu na duży rozrzut wyników nie można było sformułować jednoznacznych wniosków. Otrzymane dane znacznie odbiegają od tych prezentowanych w literaturze dla podobnych typów gruntów i zawartości nanokrzemionki, co prawdopodobnie spowodowane jest innymi czynnikami wpływającymi na wyniki badań.
