Abstract: Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is an emerging field of microbial geotechnology for surface erosion remediation. Conventionally, Sporosarcian pasteurii bacteria are used mostly for MICP treatment to enhance ...

Abstract: Geopolymer, an inorganic aluminosilicate polymer, is considered a sustainable construction material. However, a notable research gap still persists in minimizing the use of alkali activators and calcium-based additives by ...

Abstract: Biocementation using the microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) technique is an environmentally friendly method that imitates the natural cementation phenomenon to improve the behavior of soils. Urea hydrolysis ...

Abstract: Researchers have explored the utilization of nanoparticles to improve the properties of soils for various geotechnical construction applications. However, the potential of nanoparticles and their mechanisms of action in ...

Abstract: The susceptible characteristics of gypseous soil with variations in water content pose several engineering problems due to volume change behavior. A series of oedometer tests have been performed to understand the swell ...

Abstract: The efficacy of lime treatment to improve sulfatic soils has previously been explored. The formation of ettringite (E) and thaumasite due to the reaction between lime–clay–sulfate in the presence of moisture leads to the ...

Abstract: The issue of low productivity has remained a very serious and chronic problem in construction projects. While previous studies have identified several factors that cause low construction productivity, factors related to ...
