Abstract
AbstractSoil improvement methods enable engineers to solve the stability problems they encounter when carrying out a project. Soil stabilization focuses on improving the natural properties of the soil, instead of traditional soil treatment techniques. In this respect, polysaccharide biopolymers such as xanthan gum, guar gum, welan gum, beta glucan and chitosan are currently used in the field of soil behavior improvement in order to minimize environmental problems. Biopolymers are considered very auspicious in soil improvement in terms of shear strength and subsidence potential at water contents. The treatment efficiency depends on several factors, such as the nature of the soil and the type of biopolymer.KeywordsImprovementStabilizationSoilBiopolymers
