Investigation on bacterial biopolymers and biominerals for soil stabilization
The practice of soil stabilization has become an essential part of present day geotechnical engineering projects. However, it is a matter of growing concern that popular chemical stabilizers possess high carbon footprint and adversely affect the eco-system. With the emergence of bio-geotechnology...

| description | The practice of soil stabilization has become an essential part of present day geotechnical engineering
projects. However, it is a matter of growing concern that popular chemical stabilizers possess high carbon
footprint and adversely affect the eco-system. With the emergence of bio-geotechnology as an
environmentally benign alternative to chemical stabilization, there is a paradigm shift in the field of soil
stabilization. This thesis is a novel attempt to underpin the effect of bacterial biopolymers and
biomineralisation on stabilization of soil. |
