Consideration of soil as a living ecosystem offers the potential for innovative and sustainable
solutions to geotechnical problems. This is a new paradigm for many in geotechnical …

Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP), a novel bio-mediated ground improvement
method, was explored to mitigate liquefaction-prone soils. Geotechnical centrifuge tests …

The cementation of sand into sandstone through microbial activity is a novel technology with
a wide range of possible applications. The cementation process involves the introduction of …

Implant-associated infections, which are normally induced by microbial adhesion and
subsequent biofilm formation, are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Therefore …

Microbial-induced CaCO 3 precipitation (MICP) is an innovative technique that harnesses
bacterial activity for the modification of the physical properties of soils. Since stimulation of …

Looking back to less than three centuries of industrialization, responsible for alarming levels
of pollution and consumption of non-renewable resources that has led to the exhaustion of …

Microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has been heavily investigated in laboratory
experiments with few forays into field-scale implementation. Conventionally, MICP refers to …

The long-standing assumption in the geotechnical community that geotechnical systems are
purely abiotic and free of biological influence has been misleading. In recent years this …

In situ bacterial colonization and accumulation of biofilms (or biopolymers) in subsurface
have a profound effect on the physical and chemical properties of soils, influencing fluid flow …

The report aims to give a critical review on various ground improvement methods that
involve in-situ mixing and/or injection of stabilising agents in the form of powder or slurry into …
