The advent of biopolymers in the ground improvement industry has made significant
contributions by reducing the carbon footprint and tremendous improvement in soil …

This study evaluates the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) behavior of biopolymer-
modified cohesive soil exposed to natural field conditions. Two biopolymers, xanthan gum …

The current study investigated the primary and secondary compressibility characteristics of
organic clay with two biopolymers, Chitosan (D ch) and Casein (D ca) at dosages of 0.5 …

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 …

This study investigates the efficacy of sodium alginate (SA), xanthan gum (XG), guar gum
(GG) and chitosan (CS)—each applied at five different solid biopolymer-to-water mass ratios …

In recent years, there has been a significant focus on improving poor soil with the aim to
modifying its geotechnical properties and addressing its environmental issues. The …

The mechanical behaviours of biopolymer-treated soil depend on the formation of soil-
biopolymer matrices. In this study, various biopolymers (eg, xanthan gum (XG), locust bean …

Biological soil treatment methods have recently been actively promoted for sustainable and
ecofriendly geotechnical engineering. Biopolymer-based soil treatment (BPST) is …

This paper presents our findings on the effect of adding biopolymers to locally available soil
to form low-cost alternative landfill liner materials. Hydraulic conductivity is the key …

Kuttanad region in Kerala, India, is a place that predominantly consists of soft soil formations
with low shear strength and low water resistance rendering them problematic for …
