The interaction of bio–geosphere dates to the formation of first unicellular microbes on earth.
However, it is only relatively recently that the complex biological interactions are observed …

As eco-friendly methods, microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) method was
used to reinforce the calcareous sand in the South China Sea in this paper. The durability …

Calcareous sand is the main fill material for island reclamation projects, but untreated
calcareous sand might not be used as a reclamation fill due to its poor mechanical …

Geomaterials with inferior hydraulic and strength characteristics often need improvement to
enhance their engineering behaviors. Traditional ground improvement techniques require …

The application of microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) in clayey soils has
attracted much attention, and many studies used clay as an additive to enhance microbial …

To explore the feasibility of geogrid reinforcement as a promising countermeasure to
improve the liquefaction and post-liquefaction resistance of calcareous sand, extensive …

Calcium salt is an important contributing factor for calcium-based biomineralization. To study
the effect of calcium salt on soil biomineralization using crude soybean urease, the calcium …
