Biochemical Enhancement of Geotechnical Properties of Marginal Soils

Microbially-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a relatively new and sustainable soil improvement technique. This technique utilizes bio-activity of microorganism to precipitate calcite through metabolic activities of the organisms which decompose urea in to ammonium and carbon dioxide. The carb...
