Improvement of Problematic Soils with Biopolymer—An Environmentally Friendly Soil Stabilizer
Nima Latifi,Suksun Horpibulsuk,Christopher L. Meehan,Muhd Zaimi Abd Majid,Mahmood Md Tahir,Edy Tonnizam Mohamad +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used traditional chemical stabilizing additives such as cement and lime to improve the engineering performance of problematic soils with high compressibility and low shear strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory investigation and field evaluation of loess improvement using nanoclay – A sustainable material for construction
TL;DR: In this article, the potential for effective loess stabilization using nanoclay, an engineered nanomaterial, both in the laboratory and in the field at the Gonbad dam irrigation channel site was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro-structural analysis of strength development in low- and high swelling clays stabilized with magnesium chloride solution — A green soil stabilizer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the time-dependent engineering properties, mineralogy, morphology and molecular characteristics of MgCl2 stabilized tropical fine-grained soils and found that the stabilization process modified the porous network of the tested clayey soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of xanthan and guar gums in soil strengthening
TL;DR: In this paper, the viability of two types of biopolymer, xanthan gum and guar gum, as environmentally friendly additives for collapsible soil stabilization was explored, and the results revealed that biopolymers decrease maximum dry density and permeability of the collapsed soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tropical residual soil stabilization: A powder form material for increasing soil strength
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effectiveness of SH-85, a new calcium-based powder additive which is prepared from biomass silica, for stabilization of a tropical residual laterite soil.
