Enhancing mechanical behaviors of collapsible soil using two biopolymers

Enhancing mechanical behaviors of collapsible soil using two biopolymers

This study aims to investigate the possibility of using biopolymer (environmental friendly material) to enhance the mechanical behaviors of collapsible soil. Two types of biopolymers were (xanthan gum and guar gum) used in this study due to their stable behaviors under severe conditions and their av...
