Strengthening sandy soils by microbial methods

Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2017
Some contemporary methods and materials are available in geotechnical engineering to improve the engineering performance of soils. Bacterial calcium carbonate cementation could be an innovative application by bonding at the particle contacts and increasing the shear strength.

Effect of Fine Content on Liquefaction Resistance of Saturated Marine Sandy Soils Subjected to Cyclic Loading

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Offshore wind turbines are subjected to environmental loads such as wind and ocean waves throughout their entire service lives. Saturated sandy soils experience liquefaction under cyclic shear stresses induced by earthquakes or strong wave actions, which

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy of Sandy Soil Containing Cl-, SO42- and HCO3-

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2021
Based on orthogonal experiments, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to study the characteristics of sandy soils containing Cl-, SO42- and HCO3-, and the universality of the equivalent circuit was also studied. The influence of Cl-, SO42- and

Bacterial polyextremotolerant bioemulsifiers from arid soils improve water retention capacity and humidity uptake in sandy soil

Microbial Cell Factories, 2018
Background Water stress is a critical issue for plant growth in arid sandy soils. Here, we aimed to select bacteria producing polyextremotolerant surface-active compounds capable of improving water retention and humidity uptake in sandy soils.

An Estimated Correlation between California Bearing Ratio (CBR) with some Soil Parameters of Gypseous Silty Sandy Soils

Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2020
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value represents the main soil characteristic factor for paving design of flexible pavements & paving of airport sites. It should be used to determine subgrade modulus of crust soil layer, by using certain correlations.

Soil-water characteristic curve of polypropylene fibrereinforced sandy soil

Soils and Rocks, 2022
Fibre reinforcement is considered a good alternative for improving the geotechnical properties of soil. However, studies that investigate its behaviour, accounting for the unsaturated condition, and the hydraulic behaviour of soil mixtures with fibre, are limited.
