Mechanical Properties and Modification Mechanism of Disintegrated Carbonaceous Mudstone Reinforced with Xanthan Gum

Abstract

AbstractDisintegrated carbonaceous mudstone (DCM) is widely used as embankment fillers in concrete engineering because of its low cost and ecofriendly features. However, DCM has low strength and large deformation; further disintegration will also occur, ...Practical ApplicationsAs a critical component of transportation infrastructure, the stability of embankments is essential for promoting the sustainable development of the local economy. Carbonaceous mudstone (CM) embankments are extensively distributed in ...
