A Study on Alternative Low-Emission Sustainable Soil Stabilization Techniques in General and Combat Military Operations

Abstract

This paper explores the applications and benefits of innovative soil stabilization technologies—such as Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP), biopolymers, and geopolymers—that are both effective and environmentally sustainable, particularly in the development of temporary and permanent infrastructure during military operations. The study emphasizes their sustainability, rapid deployment, and enhanced durability, and how these technologies offer significant advantages for constructing and maintaining defense infrastructure compared to conventional techniques and materials. By analyzing comparative data, case studies, and environmental impacts, the potential of these materials to transform military operations is assessed.
