Effects of Xanthan gum, biochar, and vegetation on hydro-mechanical behaviour of expansive soil

Expansive soil presents major engineering challenges due to its water sensitivity. This study proposes a novel bio-based strategy using Xanthan gum (X), biochar (B), and vegetation (R) to stabilise weakly expansive soil. The study aims to investigate the synergistic effects of these modifiers on the hydro-mechanical pr...
