The Immersion Method for Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation: Applications for Sustainability comprehensively explores the synergy between microbiology and engineering, focusing on MICP and its applications in material improvement and environmental remediation. Highlighting the immersion method, the book elucidates MICP's ability to enhance mechanical properties uniformly throughout treated materials, offering a sustainable alternative for various engineering challenges. Emphasizing its applications in civil engineering and environmental management, the book showcases MICP's efficacy in ground improvement, crack repair, and soil stabilization, alongside its potential for mitigating environmental contamination.
