Influence of cementation reagent concentration on microbial-induced calcite precipitation in Malaysia

With the high population growth rate, land with competent soil which can use for the construction purposes decreased. As the competent soil availability decreased, many soil improvement methods are used to improve the soil in term of strength and stability. One of the new sustainable methods, known...
