Soil improvement using biopolymers has attracted considerable attention in recent years,
with the aim to reduce the harmful environmental effects of traditional materials, such as …

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

Collapsible soils are susceptible to high and relatively sudden volume change after wetting
under a specific load. They tend to have a high initial void index (more than 40%), a low …

Water‐soluble polymers (WSPs) are a versatile group of chemicals used across industries
for different purposes such as thickening, stabilizing, adhesion and gelation. Synthetic …

Grouting is a comprehensive technology used in the construction projects due to the rapid
development of sub-surface urban infrastructures, the main reasons for grouting soils are …

Nowadays, using biopolymer as a ground improvement method has become very popular.
However, since biopolymers are organic and degradable, their long-term effect is not fully …

Soil improvement methods using environmentally friendly additives have gained popularity
with increased environmental awareness. In the future, environmentally friendly polymers …

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 …
