Microbially Induced Sand Cementation Method Using <i>Pararhodobacter</i> sp. Strain SO1, Inspired by Beachrock Formation Mechanism

Abstract: To develop an alternative ground improvement technique in coastal areas based on bio-stimulation, we investigated sand cementation using bacteria that have been shown to enhance beachrock formation. We conducted cementation tests using Pararhodobacter sp. strain SO1, a local ureolytic bacteria originating from the sand near beachrock in Okinawa, Japan. Specifically, we attempted to cement sand specimens to unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of several MPa and establish the influence of several test conditio… Show more

“…The precipitated carbonate crystals coat the soil particles, cement the soil matrix, fill the voids partially, hence increases the desired mechanical properties including strength and stiffness of the soil matrix [4,5]. Despite being a relatively new technique, many MICP studies have been investigated for several geotechnical applications including liquefaction control, erosion mitigation, coastline preservation, sand dunes stabilization, borehole stabilization and settlement control [6][7][8][9]. Most of the investigations have been focused on the behavior of MICP treated sand, providing information on the strength and stiffness characteristics under different testing conditions [2,5,6,[9][10][11].…”

“…Based on formation methods observed by Danjo and Kawasaki [5]- [7] the sand cementation process is very much suitable, eco-friendly, cheaper and sustainable for the areas in Asia where the temperature, sand properties and other conditions is almost same as Japan and the results of this study will contribute to the application of a new technique for coastal sand improvement and biostimulation.…”

“…Danjo and Kawasaki [5]- [7] found that, Column specimens were cemented up to UCS of 10 MPa after 28 days under the conditions (curing temperature; 30°C, injection interval; 1 day, Ca 2+ concentrations in cementation solution; 0.3 M). Based on formation methods observed by Danjo and Kawasaki [5]- [7] the sand cementation process is very much suitable, eco-friendly, cheaper and sustainable for the areas in Asia where the temperature, sand properties and other conditions is almost same as Japan and the results of this study will contribute to the application of a new technique for coastal sand improvement and biostimulation.…”
