A Review on the Importance of Microbial Biopolymers Such as Xanthan Gum to Improve Soil Properties

Chemical stabilization of soils is one of the most used techniques to improve the properties of weak soils in order to allow their use in geotechnical works. Although several binders can be used for this purpose, Portland cement is still the most used binder (alone or combined with others) to stabil...
