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 ...

Abstract: The current study aims at examining the effect of different calcium-based stabilizers {calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], calcium carbonate [CaCO3], and calcium chloride [CaCl2]} on the geotechnical properties and lime-leaching ...
