Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) for soil strengthening: A comprehensive review

Tianzheng Fu, Alexandra Clarà Saracho, Stuart K. Haigh · 1 Mar 2023

Geotechnical research has been yearning for revolutionary innovations that could bring breakthroughs to conventional practices, especially at a time when energy efficiency and environmental sustainability are of unprecedented importance in the field. Recently, exciting opportunities emerged utilising microorganisms, the ubiquitous soil dwellers, to provide solutions to many geotechnical problems, prompting the development of the new,…

Applications of microbial-induced carbonate precipitation: A state-of-the-art review

Yuze Wang, Charalampos Konstantinou, Sikai Tang et al. · 1 Mar 2023

Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) is a naturally occurring process whereby bacteria produce enzymes that accelerate the precipitation of calcium carbonate. This process is facilitated through various bacterial activities, including ureolysis, sulfate reduction, iron reduction, and denitrification. The application of MICP has been widespread in a range of engineering fields, such as geotechnical, concrete, environmental, and…

A critical review of biomineralization in environmental geotechnics: Applications, trends, and perspectives

Yu Zhang, Xinlei Hu, Yijie Wang et al. · 1 Mar 2023

In this review paper, the applications of biomineralization in environmental geotechnics are analyzed. Three environmental geotechnics scenarios, namely heavy metal contamination immobilization and removal, waste and CO2 containment, and recycled use of industrial byproducts, are discussed and evaluated regarding current trends and prospects. The biomineralization process, specifically the Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technology, is…

Durability of MICP-reinforced calcareous sand in marine environments: Laboratory and field experimental study

Yujie Li, Yilong Li, Zhen Guo et al. · 1 Jun 2023

As eco-friendly methods, microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) method was used to reinforce the calcareous sand in the South China Sea in this paper. The durability characteristics and deterioration mechanism of MICP-reinforced calcareous sand under various environment factors were investigated synthetically based on the unconfined compressive strength, mass loss rate and microscopic morphology in laboratory…

Biogeotechnics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biogeotechnics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biogeotechnics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biogeotechnics use?
Biogeotechnics uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Biogeotechnics 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biogeotechnics?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Biogeotechnics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biogeotechnics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biogeotechnics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Biogeotechnics?
Biogeotechnics is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Biogeotechnics template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Biogeotechnics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biogeotechnics template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biogeotechnics template cost?
You can start writing in the Biogeotechnics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biogeotechnics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
