Abstract: This paper presents our findings on the effect of adding biopolymers to locally available soil to form low-cost alternative landfill liner materials. Hydraulic conductivity is the key parameter for assessing the suitability ...

Abstract: This study evaluates the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) behavior of biopolymer-modified cohesive soil exposed to natural field conditions. Two biopolymers, xanthan gum (G1) and guar gum (G2), at dosages of 0.5, 1, ...

Abstract: 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 researchers considered biopolymer ...
