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 …

The globe is at a crossroads in terms of the urban heat island effect, with rising surface
temperatures due to urbanization and an expanding built environment. This cause-and …

Background: Open Access Editor's Choice Review Biopolymers as Green Binders for Soil
Improvement in Geotechnical Applications: A Review by Hadi Fatehi 1, 2,*, Dominic EL Ong …

The growth of the human population is causing an exponential increase in the need for food.
Fertilizers are one of the most important elements to meet this increased demand and to …

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

Improving soil engineering properties is an inevitable process before construction on soft
soil. Increasing soil strength with chemical stabilizing agents, such as cement, raises …

Collapsible soils are susceptible to high and relatively sudden volume change after wetting
under a specific load. They tend to have a high initial void index (more than 40%), a low …

Urban political ecology (UPE) focuses on unsettling traditional understandings of 'cities' as
ontological entities separate from 'nature'and on how the production of settlements is …

There is a growing interest in develo** environmentally-friendly substitution for Portland
cement in soil stabilization. This study evaluated the feasibility of using volcanic ash (VA) …
