Abstract: Recently, a new soil improvement method to use a microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) process to generate biocementation in sand has been developed. In this method, the properties of biocemented soil ...

Abstract: A plant (jack bean) extract can function as a urease catalyst, similar to those of certain microorganisms such as

Abstract: An alkaline-activated, ground-granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) was used as a binder for mortar prepared using river sand. Sixteen mortar mixes with four different BFS:sand ratios (4%, 8%, 12%, and 16% dry weight) were ...

Abstract: This technical note examines the splitting tensile strength properties of natural sand treated with polyvinyl acetate (PVA) fiber in combination with biocementation using the microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) ...

Abstract: Biological induced calcite precipitation is a potential method being investigated for improved soil stabilization. In terms of the associated urea hydrolysis concept, three main strategies have been developed over the last ...
