Multi-scale mechanical behaviour of XG–EICP reinforced calcareous silt under wet-dry cycles
Calcareous silt is susceptible to degradation under climatic variations, particularly wetting–drying (W-D) cycles. This study investigates the synergistic effects of xanthan gum (XG) and enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) on the shear strength of calcareous silt under varying moisture contents and W-D cycles...
