Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) for soil strengthening: A comprehensive review
University of Cambridge · The University of Texas at Austin
Abstract
Geotechnical research has been yearning for revolutionary innovations that could bring breakthroughs to conventional practices, especially at a time when energy efficiency and environmental sustainability are of unprecedented importance in the field. Recently, exciting opportunities emerged utilising microorganisms, the ubiquitous soil dwellers, to provide solutions to many geotechnical problems, prompting the development of the new, multidisciplinary subject of biogeotechnics. Research interest has been centred on the use of microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) to improve the engineering properties of soils. The present work aims to comprehensively review the progress of more than a decade of…
