The diverse carbonate materials found in Iran exhibit varied physical, mechanical, and chemical behaviors, making their stabilization a subject of great interest. Further research is necessary to investigate their properties. The engineering properties of problematic soils, like carbonate sand, can be enhanced by using suitable chemical soil stabilizers. Colloidal nano-silica solution injection in carbonate soils is highly beneficial, especially in small pores where injecting cement slurry is not feasible. Colloidal nano-silica is a suspension of silica nanoparticles in water, having viscosity similar to water, facilitating injection into such soils. Moreover, it is environmentally and chemically non-toxic. In this study, carbonate soil with varying silt contents (۰%, ۱۰%, ۲۰%, ۳۰%, and ۴۰%), different nano-silica concentrations (۱۰%, ۲۰%, and ۳۰%) and an average density of ۵۰% were investigated for injectability along the Persian Gulf coast (Bushehr port). Injection was possible at a pH of about ۶.۵ with all concentrations, especially at ۳۰%. Unconfined compression tests were carried out at different silt contents, curing periods, and nano-silica concentrations to determine the optimal injection concentration. The results showed that the unconfined compression resistance increased with higher concentrations of nano-silica, with ۳۰% concentration demonstrating the best performance. Injecting colloidal nano-silica in carbonate soils, particularly silty sand, can serve as a stabilizing agent in construction.
