Overview

This study examines mechanical performance and microstructural changes in red clay with xanthan gum, suggesting ecological benefits.

Key Points

  • Xanthan gum-modified red clay shows approximately linear increases in shear strength as normal stress rises.
  • The study found that California Bearing Ratio reaches a peak of 24.1% with optimal xanthan gum dosage.
  • Laboratory tests reveal initial increases in compressive strength and deformation modulus before declining at higher xanthan gum dosages.
  • Modifying red clay with xanthan gum can mitigate ecological impacts, offering a sustainable alternative to inorganic solidifiers.
