This paper provides a review of the research on use of polymers for soil stabilization in
pavement and geotechnical engineering. First, the properties impacting the effectiveness of …

Various applications of biopolymer-based soil treatment (BPST) in geotechnical engineering
have been implemented in recent years, including dust control, soil strengthening and …

Soil improvement using biopolymers has attracted considerable attention in recent years,
with the aim to reduce the harmful environmental effects of traditional materials, such as …

This study reviews the fundamental mechanisms of biological soil improvement methods—
microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) and biopolymer treatment (BPT) …

Addition of appropriate additives is considered as one of the most widely used techniques in
soil stabilization applications. This study explores the viability of two types of biopolymer …

Microbial biopolymers have recently been introduced as a new material for soil treatment
and improvement. Biopolymers provide significant strengthening to soil, even in small …

Engineering construction in loess areas often requires improvement of loess. Basalt fiber-
reinforced soil due to complexity of material composition often exhibits poorly predictable …

Recently, environmentally friendly biological soil treatment approaches have been proposed
to enhance the geotechnical engineering properties of soils. Biopolymer-based soil …

Biopolymer-based soil treatments have shown effectiveness in soil improvement, with
successful field-scale implementation. In this study, we explored the effect of cyclic wetting …

The use of admixtures in soils to improve their properties has been implemented since
ancient times. Diverse conventional admixtures such as lime, fly ash, and cement have been …
