This study presents geotechnical characteristics of a low-plasticity clay improved by xanthan
gum biopolymer, which is an innocuous microbially induced polymer with high tensile …

Biopolymers, which are microbially induced polymers, can be used as an alternative
material to improve engineering performance of soils. In this paper, a laboratory study of …

In this study, six typical biopolymers (xanthan gum (XG), sodium alginate (SA), kappa gum
(KG), locust bean gum (LBG), agar gum (AG) and gellan gum (GE)) are selected to …

Nowadays, using biopolymer as a ground improvement method has become very popular.
However, since biopolymers are organic and degradable, their long-term effect is not fully …

The necessary application of sustainable engineering methodologies has been increasing
as the number of environmental hazards caused by global warming is on the rise. Cement …

In this study, Biopolymers are used as an attempt to create sustainable environment by
eliminating the negative environmental impacts of using traditional admixtures in soil …

Gel-type biopolymers have recently been introduced as environmentally friendly soil binders
and have shown substantial strengthening effects in laboratory experimental programs …

This paper presents the effectiveness of xanthan gum (XG) biopolymer in stabilising the
expansive soil. The XG biopolymer is mixed with expansive soil in different proportions such …

Soft marine soil has high fine-grained soil content and in-situ water content. Thus, it has low
shear strength and bearing capacity and is susceptible to a large settlement, which leads to …

Conventional geotechnical engineering soil binders such as ordinary cement or lime have
environmental issues in terms of sustainable development. Thus, environmentally friendly …
