Strength and water retention behavior of loess stabilized with guar gum and fiber under dry and wet cycles

Abstract To improve the mechanical and water-retention behavior of loess and reduce the erosion failure caused by dry–wet cycles, the applicability of guar gum (GG) biopolymer and basalt fiber in the solidification of loess is investigated. The addition of GG can enhance the compressive strength and...
