Sustainable engineering discourages the use of conventional soil stabilizers such as lime
and cement owing to their higher carbon emission rates. To address these challenges, many …

Addition of appropriate additives is considered as one of the most widely used techniques in
soil stabilization applications. This study explores the viability of two types of biopolymer …

In this study, a novel stabilization approach using locust bean gum (LBG) was proposed to
enhance the strength properties of natural soil. A series of laboratory tests were first …

This article presents a comprehensive study on the geotechnical behavior of problematic
expansive subgrade stabilized by guar gum (GG) biopolymer. In this regard, many …

This article presents a comprehensive study on the efficacy of xanthan gum (XG) biopolymer
as a green construction material in treating problematic weak subgrade soil (ie, expansive …

Problematic soils with high compressibility and low shear strength are often treated with
traditional chemical stabilizing additives such as cement and lime to improve their …

The utilizing of traditional chemical stabilizers could improve soil engineering properties but
also results in brittle behavior and causes environmental problems. This study investigates …

Improving soil engineering properties is an inevitable process before construction on soft
soil. Increasing soil strength with chemical stabilizing agents, such as cement, raises …

The study of the high-performance of biopolymers and current eco-friendly have recently
emerged. However, the micro-behavior and underlying mechanisms during the test are still …

Gel-type biopolymers have recently been introduced as environmentally friendly soil binders
