Biological soil stabilization is a new and environment friendly method
of soil improvement. In this method the urease activity of a bacteria
cause the precipitation of the calcium carbonate in the soil medium.
This method has been performed by injection of solutions to the soil
which are contained the needed materials for initiating the process.
Besides the soil properties such as soil grading, porosity, etc., the
cementation solution properties affects the obtained results of this
method. The latter properties include injection method, solution
concentration and pH. As a result, this process causes the bounding of
the soil grains. Another important result of the mentioned method is
decreasing the permeability of the soil. This research presents the
results of permeability tests on soils treated with microorganism. An
engineering landfill liner model also is developed to evaluate the
effect of the biological soil improvement method on controlling the
leakage of the waste liquids from the landfill into the surrounding
grounds
