INFLUENCE OF BACILLUS PUMILUS ON THE PLASTICITY OF TREATED LATERITIC SOIL
The effect of Bacillus pumilus (B. pumilus) on the improvement potential of some selected geotechnical properties of lateritic soil was studied. Air-dried soils were cured in paced Bacillus pumilus suspensions between 0 and 2.4 × 109 cells/ml. Cured test samples adopted mix ratios of 50% B. pumilus / 50 % cementation r …
