cement, ongoing efforts have been carried out by different researchers to find alternative …

Recently, chitosan biopolymer has attracted several research attentions in
geoenvironmental applications such as absorption of heavy metals in contaminated soils …

The performance of an environmentally friendly biopolymer synthesised from secondary
resources to overcome the wind erosion of sandy soil was investigated in this study. The …

The strength of marl soils decreases drastically in the variation of the water content. This has
caused such soil to be introduced as problematic soil in geotechnical projects. In the present …

Chemical stabilization is extensively employed to enhance the physical and mechanical
properties of problematic soils. For instance, there are various types of chemical additives in …

Biopolymer-based soil stabilization offers a clean alternative to conventional stabilizers like
cement and lime. This study investigates the possibility of using shrimp-based chitin and …

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 …

Chitosan is becoming increasingly applied in agriculture, mostly as a powder, however little
is known about its effect on soil mechanical properties. Uniaxial compression test was …

In this study the effect of using a biopolymer soil stabilizer on soil stiffness characteristics
was investigated. Chitosan is a bio-waste material that is obtained by chemical treatment of …

The improvement of water erosion resistance of soils is gaining the attention of the scientific
community. Erosion represents a threat to agricultural productivity because of the loss of …
