Mechanical properties of biopolymer-stabilised soil-based construction materials (2017, background): “…possibility of using biopolymers as soil stabilisers, and it has been reported that, when added to soil biopolymers have reduced soil permeability (Bouazza et al., 2009; Aminpour & O’Kelly, 2015), increased shear strength (Cabalar & Canakci, 2011; Chang et al., 2015), improved compressibility…”
Improving mechanical properties of sand using biopolymers (2013, methodology): “Also, Bouazza et al. (2009) applied xanthan gum, guar gum and sodium alginate in concentrations up to 2% by weight to a silty sand and found that xanthan gum provided better performance in lowering permeability. The application of agar in concentrations of typically less than 1% to stabilize soil te”
