AbstractBiopolymers are used for soil stabilization with no environmental impact. Due to the
hydrophilicity and solubility of biopolymers, their durability is of concern. This
paper investigates the effect of using kenaf fiber (KF) to reinforce a silty ...Practical ApplicationsUsing biopolymers for soil stabilization is a sustainable and eco-friendly method;
however, the main problem with biopolymers is their hydrophilicity, which reduces
durability when exposed to water moisture. This study has ...
