Abstract: This work studies the effect of the organic matter content on the efficiency of the biocementation process due to the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) induced by the urease enzyme. Eight different mixtures of an ...

Abstract: When a material is subjected to cyclic loading, there are changes in the material’s geomechanical behavior that need to be known and characterized for a safe design. To this end, a series of unconfined compressive strength ...

Abstract: This paper compares the behavior of an embankment with nonsymmetric geometry built on soft soil with that predicted numerically using four elastoplastic soil models. Two of these models are based on isotropic conditions ...

Abstract: This work analyzes the effect of soil type on the process of enzymatic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation. This methodology is tested for the stabilization of five soil types (poorly graded sand, two silty sands, a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a laboratory study of the ability of two bacteria to improve the geomechanical properties of a sandy soil by calcium carbonate precipitation. The performance of two bacteria (

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of organic matter content and the curing conditions on the one-dimensional compressibility of Portuguese soft soil stabilized with binders, with a special emphasis on creep behavior. Consolidation ...

Abstract: When any material is subjected to dynamic loads, the evaluation of the repercussions of the cyclic loading on the mechanical properties is essential to understand its behavior better. Thus, based on the results of unconfined ...
