The use of admixtures in soils to improve their properties has been implemented since
ancient times. Diverse conventional admixtures such as lime, fly ash, and cement have been …

This review explores the use of biopolymers as sustainable alternatives for soil improvement
in geotechnical engineering. Specifically, focusing on three commonly used biopolymers …

Biopolymers have recently shown great potential to replace traditional binding materials in
geotechnical engineering; however, more research is required to reach a deeper …

Recently, biopolymers have emerged in soil stabilisation. The efficiency of biopolymers in
ground improvement is mainly dependent on biopolymer types, soil types, biopolymer …

This article presents a comprehensive study on the geotechnical behavior of problematic
expansive subgrade stabilized by guar gum (GG) biopolymer. In this regard, many …

The employment of novel biopolymers offers geotechnical engineers a diverse range of
materials to choose from, depending on the specific requirements of different projects …

Liquefaction is a phenomenon where the soil mass behaves like a liquid due to the rise in
excess pore-water pressure, which results in the complete loss of shear strength. Most of the …

This study examines the influence of the fly ash material on the shear strength
characteristics and stress–dilatancy response of two categories of sands with different …

Polyethene terephthalate (PET) waste poses major environmental harm which can be
minimized by reusing it in clay soil stabilization. In general, various polymers are known to …

Beta glucan (β-Glucan), a polysaccharide biopolymer, is used to improve the subgrade
strength of clayey soils in an attempt to advocate a sustainable, carbon-neutral, and eco …
