Effectiveness of the MICP Treatment by Urease Positive Bacteria on the Engineering Properties of Alluvial Soils

Project ID: ARP/2022/CE/03/06

Funding Source: AUST Internal Research Grant

Project Awarded: 1^st March, 2023

 

Principal Investigator:

Shafiqul Islam

Assistant Professor, CE Department, AUST

 

Co-principal Investigator/s:

Assistant Professor, CE Department, AUST

 

Project Duration: 2 years

Budget approved: 9,50,000/-

 

Expected Research Outcomes:

• It is expected that variation in calcite precipitation concentration at different layers of soil could be identified. Microbiologically Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) treatment will improve the compressive strength and friction angle of soil.
