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 …

The dairy industry generates excessive amounts of waste and by-products while it gives a
wide range of dairy products. Alternative biotechnological uses of these wastes need to be …

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

In this work, bio-based hydrogel composites of xanthan gum and cellulose fibers were
developed to be used both as soil conditioners and topsoil covers, to promote plant growth …

Biopolymers, which are naturally produced polymers, exhibit hydraulic and mechanical
properties, and have low environmental impact. Therefore, they can be employed as an …

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 …

Recently, biopolymers have emerged in soil stabilisation. The efficiency of biopolymers in
ground improvement is mainly dependent on biopolymer types, soil types, biopolymer …

This paper investigates the physicochemical properties of proteins and their foaming
characteristics in a synthetic pore solution (SPS) of cementitious materials to aid in …

In the last decade, biopolymers have been used as organic soil binders in ground
improvement and earthen construction material modification. Although biopolymer-treated …
