There is a large number of microorganisms in soil and rock masses. The activities of these
microorganisms can influence the physical and mechanical behaviours of soils and rocks …

Microbial geotechnology or biogeotechnology is a new branch of geotechnical engineering.
It involves the use of microbiology for traditional geotechnical applications. Many new …

Microbial Geotechnology is a new branch of geotechnical engineering that deals with the
applications of microbiological methods to geological materials used in engineering. The …

In recent years, there has been a surge in the study of applying biotechnologies to
geotechnical engineering by using microbial processes to change the physical and …

Both nature processes and laboratory studies have shown that microorganisms can be used
to improve the engineering properties of soil. As such, it is possible to develop methods that …

In this chapter, the principles of microbial geotechnical-based soil improvement methods are
explained. Studies on the establishment of different applications of three …

Geotechnical engineering has primarily focused on the mechanical and physical aspects of
geomaterials (both naturally occurring and anthropogenic) by, to a certain extent, ignoring …

Microbial geo-technology is an innovative eco-friendly technique that uses microbes to
improve and strengthen weak or marginal soils. Bio-mediated ground improvement …

The understanding of soil behavior during the last 300 years has centered on mechanical
principles, geological processes, and later on, mineralogy and the relevance of colloidal …

The concept of using biological process in soil improvement which is known as bio-
mediated soil improvement technique has shown greater potential in geotechnical …
