Abstract To explore an environmentally friendly improvement measure for red clay, the function and mechanism of
xanthan gum biopolymer and polypropylene fibers on the strength properties of red clay were investigated by
unconfined compressive strength and scanning electron microscopy tests. The test results demonstrated that
the contents and curing ages of xanthan gum had significant influences on the unconfined compressive strength
of red clay. Compared with untreated soil, 1.5% xanthan gum content was the optimal ratio in which the strength
increment was between 41.52 kPa and 64.73 kPa. On the other hand, the strength of xanthan… More >
