Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has attracted significant attention as a
promising in situ ground reinforcement method, particularly for the improvement of existing …

Microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), as a promising
reinforcement technique, has been investigated extensively through element and model …

Microbial geotechnology or biogeotechnology is a new branch of geotechnical engineering.
It involves the use of microbiology for traditional geotechnical applications. Many new …

Calcareous sands have abundant intraparticle pores and are prone to particle breakage.
This often leads to poor engineering properties, which poses a challenge to coastal …

Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) has attracted increasing attention as a bio-
inspired technique that can be employed in-situ for ground improvement. One of the …

Abstract The geologist Hakon Wadell proposed the roundness definition in the 1930s for
quantifying the particle angularity of granular soils. Due to the difficulty in obtaining three …

Rainfall erosion in slopes is a common natural disaster threatening the safety of urban
infrastructure and farmland and the full life cycle sustainability of construction. In this study, a …

To explore the fractal dimension, particle shape, and particle breakage of calcareous sand
(CS) under multi-level ending pressure, a series of one-dimensional compression …

The behaviour of a granular material is primarily affected by its particle size distribution
(PSD), which is not necessarily a soil constant as assumed in traditional soil mechanics. The …

Ground improvement by the biological method is considered to be one of the most preferred
sustainable methods for improving engineering properties of soil in comparison to the …
