Field trials of microbially induced desaturation (MID) were conducted at two sites in Portland,
Oregon underlain by liquefiable fine-grained soils. MID is an emerging method for mitigating …

A field trial was performed to test the feasibility of microbially induced desaturation and
precipitation (MIDP) by denitrification for the stabilization of a silty soil. Indigenous nitrate …

Chemical stabilization via hydration reactions with cement or lime is a universally applied
method to improve the mechanical properties of shallow soils. Accelerated soil carbonation …

Chemical stabilization—the mixing of additives like cement, lime, or fly-ash with soil to
improve its mechanical properties—conventionally relies on hydration reactions to generate …

A tank test was performed simulating two-dimensional planar flow conditions at a meter
scale to evaluate the effectiveness of microbial-induced desaturation and precipitation …

A new method and instrument were developed for in situ measurement of the gas diffusion
coefficient (D g) and gas coefficient of permeability (kg) of unsaturated soil. Air containing …

A feasibility study was performed to assess the potential of microbially induced desaturation
and precipitation (MIDP) through denitrification to reduce the risk of earthquake-induced …

The resistance to liquefaction of soils can be significantly increased by slightly reducing the
degree of saturation. Many experimental studies demonstrated that the augmented …

Gas permeability (ka) and gas diffusion coefficient (D p) are vital for controlling gas transport
through earthen landfill cover overlying municipal solid wastes or acid mine tailings. Soil …

The collapse of quasi-saturated sand with entrapped air due to decreasing total confining
stress under undrained conditions has been widely reported in engineering practice. This …
