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 …

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 …

Due to the environmental impacts of conventional soil stabilization materials, such as
cement, ongoing efforts have been carried out by different researchers to find alternative …

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 …

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 …

The current study evaluated the potential of crustacean polysaccharide and protein-based
biopolymers, namely, chitosan and casein, in ameliorating a low organic soil. The inclusion …

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

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

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 …

Ecofriendly stabilization using various biopolymers has been explored to enhance the soil
strength and the stability of geotechnical structures. This study investigates the improvement …
