Soil stabilization is aimed at improving the characteristics of soils with technical limitations through the incorporation of additional materials, thus generating soils that are optimized to support structural loads andprevent geotechnical damage. Biostabilization employs biological methods as an alternative to the use of cement, the use of which has serious environmental consequences. The extracellular bacterial polysaccharide called Xanthan gum has been studied as a soil stabilizer. However, the diversity of results in the scientific literature underlines the need for a consolidation of the observed effects on the geotechnical property of simple compressive strength. In the present study, the values of simple compression documented in indexed articles were consolidated through a meta-analysis of 27 articles. The main findings include the development of a response surface for simple co...

Urban Solid Waste is nowadays a new research approach in civil engineering, whose problems are currently reflected in the increase in the generation of Urban Solid Waste, the final disposal being the landfill, resulting in an artificial fill, where Geotechnics has an active participation in the project, execution, operation and rehabilitation, works that are developed within the area called "Environmental Geotechnics", which is the meeting between classical geotechnics and environmental sciences. This research work is the first to be developed at a national level regarding the determination of characterization parameters and settlements of the Urban Solid Waste landfill, which was developed in the San Antonio Cusco Landfill, currently closed, and through Geotechnics allowed us to characterize the Urban Solid Waste with geotechnical tests such as: Density, Humidity, Granulometry, Permeabi...
