Assessment of different treatment methods by microbial-induced calcite precipitation for clayey soil improvement

Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) utilises the metabolic pathway of ureolytic bacteria to form calcium carbonate precipitation throughout the soil matrix, leading to increased soil strength and stiffness. MICP has proved to be an efficient technique for treatment of clean sand; however,...
