Earthen construction materials are often chemically stabilised in order to improve their
durability against water-induced deterioration. However, chemical stabilisers like cement …

Biopolymers are promising potential soil stabilizers due to their ease of application and
stabilization efficacy. Biopolymers are biologically occurring polymers that form hydrogels …

Earthen construction materials are of great importance in terms of having natural and
sustainable properties. Bio-stabilization of earthen construction is defined as the products or …

Soil-based construction materials are of interest as structural building materials due to their
green credentials, as well as being present in many historical structures. For effective …

Currently, soil stabilization is used in road construction in Sri Lanka, especially for soft road
shoulders. The socioeconomic demand for sustainable development has raised the …

This paper investigates the recyclability, liquid water durability and water vapour adsorption
of both unstabilised and stabilised compressed earth bricks. Stabilised bricks were …

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 importance of earthen construction materials lies in their widespread availability
combined with a low embodied energy. Chemical stabilizers are commonly used to improve …

Carrageenan, a biodegradable natural polymer, was evaluated as a bioadditive to improve
the physical and mechanical properties of adobe constructions. The results show that its …

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 …
