What is Biopolymer Soil Stabilization Study about?

This study investigates the effect of treating lateritic soil with different percentages of the biopolymer xanthan gum on its strength properties. Standard tests were performed on untreated lateritic soil to determine properties like particle size distribution and optimum moisture content. The soil was then mixed with 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% xanthan gum by dry weight and cured for 3, 7, and 14 days. Unconfined compression and direct shear tests showed that treated soil strength increased with higher biopolymer
