Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This review delves into the mechanisms of microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP), focusing on the metabolic pathways, crystal characteristics, and environmental factors influencing soil solidification. It explores the application of MICP in various soil types, including sand, silt, clay, loess, and expansive soil, highlighting the improvements in mechanical strength, hydraulic characteristics, and durability. The text also discusses the challenges and limitations of MICP, such as its resistance to acid-rain erosion and the effects of prolonged erosion on soil strength and stiffness. Furthermore, it examines the potential of combining MICP with fibre reinforcement to enhance soil strength and stability, as well as the application of MICP in repairing soil cracks and improving soil durability. The review concludes that MICP is a promising technology for soil stabilisation and improvement, with wide application prospects in soil engineering, but also demonstrates its limitations under specific conditions and areas for further research.
