Soil strengthening using thermo-gelation biopolymers (2015, background): “xanthan gum, can successfully improve the mechanical properties [11,12] and erosion resistance of soil, while remaining the porosity and hydraulic conductivity high [13].”
Geotechnical engineering behaviors of gellan gum biopolymer treated sand (2016, background): “The strength of biopolymer treated soils strongly depends on the water content of the biopolymer–soil mixture (Chang et al. 2015c).”
Mechanical properties of biopolymer-stabilised soil-based construction materials (2017, background): “In addition, Chang et al (2015b) note that the strength of the biopolymer stabilised soil is dependent on water content, although that point is not relevant to this study where the end application is a material dried to the environmental equilibrium.”
The drying effect on xanthan gum biopolymer treated sandy soil shear strength (2019, background): “A previous study has revealed its capability to be an engineering binder [16].”
Review on geotechnical engineering properties of sands treated by microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) and biopolymers (2020, background): “0 filaments, forming a continuous biopolymer matrix through intergranular pore spaces [122,149].”
