Abstract: Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a sustainable biological ground improvement technique that is capable of altering and improving soil mechanical and geotechnical engineering properties. In this paper, ...

Abstract: Limited research has been reported on strength improvement of biocemented soils in relation to crystal patterns of microbially induced calcite (CaCO3) precipitation (MICP). In this study, sand samples were treated under ...

Abstract: Research on soil biocementation has gained momentum given its advantages over ordinary Portland cement-based techniques that entail a negative environmental impact. Soil biocementation occurs when bacteria-induced urea ...

Abstract: Over the years, many methods have been developed to predict the settlement of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils. However, methods for making such predictions with the required degree of accuracy and consistency ...

Abstract: In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to many geotechnical engineering problems with some degree of success. In the majority of these applications, data division is carried out on an arbitrary ...

Abstract: Over the past decades, stiffened slab foundations have been assessed as the most successful foundation system for structures that are susceptible to risks from reactive soils. However, most existing design methods simplify ...
