Abstract:The engineering properties of soil can be enhanced through artificial cementation which is realized by premixing or injecting chemical agents such as cement, lime and gypsum in soil. Biocementation of soil using biogenic cements has also been developed in recent years.In this thesis, the engineering behaviour of sand cemented using either cement or biocement was investigated. Cement-treated sand was prepared by mixing uncemented sand with Portland cement, while biocement-treated sand was made using the low-pH-… Show more
