| Abstract | The Self-Healing Infrastructure with Nature-Based Enhancements (SHINE) project at Jackson State University aims perform research that looks to improve the durability and resilience of earthen infrastructure through innovative, sustainable engineering solutions. This project investigates the use of biopolymer-treated earthen materials with self-healing capabilities, allowing soil structures to recover from damage when exposed to moisture. By integrating biopolymers—natural materials with unique b |
