Nanotechnology for Sustainable Highway

Sustainable road construction is a global challenge as traditional soil stabilization often relies on non-eco-friendly methods. This book explores the potential of nano-clay composites in enhancing soil subgrades for highway development. It integrates nanotechnology civil engineering and green chemistry through laboratory experiments advanced material characterization (XRF XRD FTIR SEM TEM) and geotechnical tests (CBR UCS FSI OMC MDD). The study further applies machine learning models (KNN Random Forest SVR) and finite element simulations (ABAQUS) to predict soil behavior and optimize pavement design using national guidelines. Emphasizing sustainability cost-effectiveness and alignment with the United Nations SDGs this book provides valuable insights for researchers engineers policymakers and students seeking eco-friendly and resilient infrastructure solutions.
