Development of biocementation methods for clayey soils
Singapore faces a problem of land shortages due to its size therefore measures has been made to increase land sizes though land reclamation. One major concern in it is that there is a great shortage of granular fill material. One way to overcome such a problem is to use non-granular materials like e...
