Abstract:This study investigates the efficacy of microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) on the mechanical properties of poorly graded sand through a set of laboratory experiments. Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and calcium carbonate assessments were conducted to evaluate the influence of MICP under varying cementation concentrations, cementation ratios, and injection cycles. To this end, treated samples underwent 3, 14, and 21 inject… Show more
