Presently, conventional technologies in water treatment are not efficient enough to
completely mineralize refractory water contaminants. In this context, the implementation of …

Geotechnical research has been yearning for revolutionary innovations that could bring
breakthroughs to conventional practices, especially at a time when energy efficiency and …

Cracks in cement concrete composites, whether autogenous or loading-initiated, are almost
inevitable and often difficult to detect and repair, posing a threat to safety and durability of …

In order to evaluate MCP as a soil strengthening process, a five meter sand column was
treated with bacteria and reagents under conditions that were realistic for field applications …

The application of concrete is rapidly increasing worldwide and therefore the development
of sustainable concrete is urgently needed for environmental reasons. As presently about …

Evidence of microbial involvement in carbonate precipitation has led to the exploration of
this process in the field of construction materials. One of the first patented applications …

The process of microbial mineral plugging in porous media is common in nature. We
examined physical and biochemical properties of CaCO3 precipitation induced by Bacillus …

Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a technique that uses the
