Abstract

Microbially exacerbate existing precipitation (MICP) is an emerging technique with great potential for enhancing soil quality. The study's overarching objective is to quantify MICP's contribution to black cotton soil's improved shear strength and reduced hydraulic conductivity. The findings of a laboratory study on the influence of microorganisms on the engineering properties of soil treated with MICP. The bacteria utilized in this study was called Bacillus megaterium. A mold was made with the same interior size as the vortex shear instrument, and soil samples were then tested using this setup. The presence of microbes in black cotton soil greatly improves its shear strength and decreases its hydraulic conductivity, as shown by vane shear and penetration tests.
