Increasing Soil Compaction Efficiency: An experimental study on biogenic gas formation as a pretreatment on silt sand mixtures

This study aimed to evaluate the field scale potential of Microbially Induced Desaturation (MID) to improve the compactibility of silty sands. Conventional soil compaction techniques for saturated silty sands often require either high compaction effort or even fail to reach aspired relative densities. This thesis is a follow-up study based on...
