Description

Biocemented recycled glass columns: Green technology for ground improvement. This project aims to develop a green ground improvement technology using biocemented recycled glass column inclusions. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the performance of novel biocemented glass wastes when used as ground inclusions to improve the engineering properties of problematic soils subjected to traffic loads, through experimental, numerical approaches and field trials. Expected outcomes include evaluating the performance of biocemented recycled glass via experiments, establishing constitutive models, developing numerical tools and building enduring collaborations with industry. Benefits include diversion of wastes from landfills, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and commercial applications of glass wastes.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4005 - Civil Engineering. Lead: Prof Arul Arulrajah
