Abstract: Tests were conducted on bentonite–silica fume mixtures (BSFMs) to determine how particle size affects the volumetric shrinkage of bentonite–sand mixtures (BSMs) used as hydraulic barriers in waste disposal facilities. Free ...

Abstract: Particle shape is known to affect the mechanical behavior of sands because it influences packing density and particle contacts. Even though the thermal conductivity of sands also depends on packing density and particle ...

Abstract: This study investigated the performance of microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) in reinforcing road bases reconstituted with calcareous or silica sands. Four testing models were prepared by the surface percolation ...

Abstract: Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP), a newly green method, was investigated as a possible solution to rainfall-induced erosion of sandy slopes. A series of model slopes prepared with sands of different gradations ...

Abstract: Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an effective method for stabilizing sandy soil. However, this method is not effective for coarse sands. A kaolin-nucleating method was proposed in this study to improve ...

Abstract: This paper includes an investigation of the thermal conductivity of biocemented soils to better understanding the regimes of heat transmission through soils treated by microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation ...
