Description:

This project aims to develop a green ground improvement technology using bio-cemented recycled glass column inclusions. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the performance of novel bio-cemented 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 bio-cemented recycled glass via experiments, establishing constitutive models, developing numerical tools and building enduring collaborations with industry. Benefits include the diversion of wastes from landfills
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and commercial applications of glass wastes.
