Abstract:As a new environmentally friendly and sustainable technique for soil improvement, microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has been studied widely. A suitable sample preparation mold is the first step to prepare MICP treatment. The purpose of this study is to develop a rigid full-contact mold to prepare larger biobeam specimens for MICP treatments with an immersing method. Four different molds were developed, including a plastic beam rigid mold without a cover, a full-contact flexible mold, a rigid full-… Show more
