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 …

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 …

Several soil stabilization techniques have been adopted to favorably modify the
geotechnical properties like hydraulic conductivity, strength, and compressibility of soil. In …

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

Biogeotechnology is a subfield of geotechnical engineering that utilizes microbial
approaches to improve the engineering parameters of soil. The use of biological processes …

This study aims to investigate the possibility of using biopolymer (environmental friendly
material) to enhance the mechanical behaviors of collapsible soil. Two types of biopolymers …

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 …

The general aim of soil treatment in construction engineering is to improve soil properties
such as aggregate stability, strength, and erosion resistance. Conventional soil treatment …

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 …
