The present invention discloses an equal energy deformation composite foundation using microorganism to solidify aggregate and a construction method thereof, the composite foundation comprises a pile body and a cushion layer, wherein the pile body is provided with several piles, the cushion layer is arranged at the top of the pile body, the pile body is connected into an integral structure through the cushion layer, and the pile body and the cushion layer are filled with aggregate solidified by microorganism. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, leveling the site; Step 2, construction preparation; Step 3, the pile driver in place; Step 4, forming a hole by hammering; Step 5, filling aggregate into the hole; Step 6, repeating the work of step 5; Step 7, forming an equal energy deformation compaction pile using microorganism to solidify aggregate; Step 8, moving to the next pile; Step 9, tamping the ground; Step 10, until the cushion is flush with the surface. Beneficial effects: using local materials, turning waste into wealth, being environmental friendly, saving project cost and conforming to the concept of green development.

The invention relates to a microbial delivery system where biochar acts as a carrier for microbes.

An erosion resistant composition includes a granular material and a wax including oil in which a weight percent of the oil in the wax is between 0.01-15%. The granular material includes a sand and has a first resistance to flow prior to being coated with the wax. The wax at least partially coats a portion of the granular material to form the erosion resistant composition which has a second resistance to flow after coating that is greater than the first resistance to flow prior to coating. The erosion resistant composition may be used, for example, in golf course bunkers or other landscaping applications. Related methods of making the erosion resistant composition are also described in which the granular material is dried, the wax is heated, and the granular material is blended with the melted wax.
