Abstract: AbstractThis study explores the effect of bacteria on the large-strain settlement behavior of kaolin sediment. It first performed a sedimentation test using a kaolin suspension mixed with a representative lake-sediment ...

Abstract: This study examines the use of a numerical model to predict the reduction in permeability of bioclogged specimens observed from column experiments. The numerical model uses the two-dimensional (2D) segmented scanning ...

Abstract: Direct use of naturally occurring microbes for soil improvement has recently gained attention due to their ubiquitous and versatile characteristics in subsurface soil. Microbes produce soft and sticky extracellular polymeric ...
