Bio-mediated improvement process in a reinforced soil with waste paper fiber

The effectiveness of using some natural and/or synthetic fibers such as bamboo, jute, steel fibers, polyester etc. in the soil improvement techniques has been recognized by many researchers. In addition, eco-friendly biomineralization microorganisms have attracted attention recent years. This technique improves mechanical properties precipitating calcium carbonate between particles and adhering particles. current study, author investigated an waste paper fiber to suppress liquefaction a self-healing process based microorganisms. As result solidification tests on column approach, it was revealed that minerals are generated surface sand particles, uniaxial strength is improved.
