Abstract

In construction, cement is widely used as soil improvement material. It aims to increase the shear strength of soft/loose soil which in natural conditions has poor shear strength. However, the use of cement could threaten the environment because of the greenhouse effect. Nowadays, eco-friendly and sustainable materials are being introduced in the construction field. Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide commonly used as a rheology modifier. In this study, experimental tests were conducted with mixing uniformly graded loose sand and Xanthan gum powder. The shear strength of soils was tested using the Direct Shear apparatus. The results show that the shear strength of treated soil increased significantly. Moreover, the mechanism of Xanthan gum in binding the soil particles was observed by making use of a Scanning Electron Microscope.
