Abstract: This study explores the mechanical behavior of glass bead pairs cemented by microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP) when subjected to tensile or shear loading. The mineral precipitation habit and contact area are ...

Abstract: Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) modifies soil behavior and properties through the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the pore space. It has gained prominence as one strategy for biologically ...

Abstract: This study presents a simplified resonant column testing method to obtain small-strain dynamic properties of soils in both torsional and flexural vibrations. The method exploits free vibration decay responses of the system ...

Abstract: Soft viscoelastic biological products such as biopolymers and biofilms have recently garnered significant interest as alternative biogrout materials for ground improvement because of their nontoxic and biodegradable ...
