For a long time in the practice of geotechnical engineering, soil has been viewed as an inert
material, comprising only inorganic phases. However, microorganisms including bacteria …

Mechanical compaction and chemical grouting are the two most widely used methods in
geotechnical engineering for ground improvement. However, the disadvantages of the …

Conventional techniques of soil stabilization involve using additives such as lime and
cement. However, these methods take up a great deal of energy and cause considerable …

Wind erosion occurs in arid and semi-arid regions and causes surface erosion, dust and
environmental threats. Despite research on the formation of biological surface crust on …

Until recently, engineers either ignored or neglected the role of microorganisms in
geotechnical engineering. The microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) research …

Aims Various applications of microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been
proposed. However, most studies use cultured pure strains to obtain MICP, ignoring …

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 …
