The microbial‑induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), as an emerging biomineralization
technology mediated by specific bacteria, has been a popular research focus for scientists …

Although traditional methods of liquefaction mitigation have been widely applied in
engineering practice, some prominent problems remain such as limits on the size of the …

Cyclic undrained triaxial tests were carried out on saturated and unsaturated loose
specimens of three fine-grained materials. The results confirm that, as the saturation degree …

This book presents the first comprehensive text on construction biomaterials and
bioprocesses. It details aspects of construction biotechnology, a new interdisciplinary area …

A new scientific and engineering discipline, Construction Biotechnology, is developing
exponentially during the last decade. The major directions of this discipline are selection of …

Abstract Construction Microbial Biotechnology is a new area of science and engineering that
includes microbially-mediated construction processes and microbial production of …

Liquefaction can cause ground subsidence and structural collapses, which could result in
considerable damage. While numerous preventive methods have been proposed to prevent …

The increasing interest in the undrained cyclic behaviour of unsaturated soils is justified by
the evidence of the beneficial effect of desaturation on liquefaction resistance and is thus …

In saturated sandy soils liquefaction triggering is generally well-identified according to stress
or strain criteria. On the contrary, the attainment of liquefaction in non-saturated sandy soils …

We present a novel method to improve liquefaction resistance in sandy soil by treating it with
natural rubber latex (NRL) using a pressurised permeation technique. Sand samples treated …
