Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) is a green technology which is being employed in the stabilization of poor soil. Microorganisms that are capable of producing urea are introduced into the soil alongside chemical solution consisting of urea and calcium salt. This thus forms calcite within the soil matrix,...

Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) is an innovative soil stabilization method, though its performance can be limited by insufficient nucleation sites and uneven calcite distribution. This study investigates the use of coal-derived char as an additive in EICP-treated sodium bentonite-sand mixtures to improve...

Laterite soils widely used in tropical road construction often exhibit high plasticity and inadequate engineering performance. This creates the need for locally available and environmentally sustainable stabilizing materials. This study evaluated the chemical, physicochemical and engineering characteristics of six agro...

Soil stabilization is fundamental to geotechnical engineering, yet traditional cement- and lime-based methods impose significant environmental burdens through high energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This review systematically analyzes sustainable stabilization technologies, including bio-mediated techniques (microbi...
