Most prevalent bio-mediated soil improvement methods include microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) and enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP). During their processes, the bacteria/free urease hydrolyzes the urea into ammonium and carbonic acid, which is accompanied by a considerable increase of alkalinity (about pH 9.0). The major problem associated with the above techniques is the release of gaseous ammonia that is extremely detrimental. Therefore, this study aims to propose a new sustainable approach involving lactic acid bacteria to facilitate the calcium phosphate mineralization for the strengthening of sand matrix. The major objectives of this investigation are: (i) to evaluate the urease activity of the lactic acid bacteria under different temperatures, pH conditions and additions of metal ions, (ii) to assess the treated sand matrix, (iii) to perform cost analysis. The outcomes indicated that <em>Limosilactobacillus</em> sp. could effectively facilitate the urea hydrolysis, hence increasing the pH from acidic to neutral and providing a desirable environment for the calcium phosphate to mineralize within the voids of the sand. The addition of 0.01 % Ni<sup>2+</sup> in culture media was found to enhance the urease activity by 38.8 % and compressive strength over 40 %. A combined formation of amorphous- and whisker-like precipitates could bridge a larger area at particle-particle contact points, thereby faciliating a strong force-network in sand matrix. The mineralized calcium phosphate compound was found to be brushite. The cost herein for producing 1 L treatment solution was estimated to be about 2.5-folds and 11.8-folds lower compared to that of MICP and EICP treatment solutions, respectively. Moreover, since the treatment pH could potentially be regulated between acidic-neural range, it would greatly control the release of gaseous ammonia. With several environmental and economical benefits, the study has disclosed a new sustainable direction for sand improvement via the use of lactic acid bacteria.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100175,"journal":{"name":"Biogeotechnics","volume":"3 4","pages":"Article 100135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145230044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Humic substances cover most of the surface soil across the world land with vegetation, which varies according to the density of vegetation and climate. To understand the compatibility of this technique to distinct problematic soils, it is important to figure out how humic substances could affect the carbonate precipitation process induced by urease enzyme. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of humic acid (HA), one type of humic substance, on the soil solidification through EICP. For this purpose, HA was added to natural soil with varying addition amounts (0%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%, 16%) in soil column solidification tests. The results found that the cementation effectiveness was enhanced by a small amount of HA addition (&lt;4%), while an addition up to 8% greatly inhibited the formation of calcium carbonate. At the same time, soil samples were buffered by HA in a weak acidic condition, thus preventing the emission of undesirable by-product ammonia in the ureolysis process.

In order to study the development characteristics and quantitative analysis of cracks in root-soil complex in different growth periods under dry-wet cycles, the alfalfa root-loess complex was investigated during different growth periods under different dry-wet cycles, and a dry-wet cycle experiment was conducted. The crack rate, relative area, average width, total length, and the cracks fractal dimension in the root-soil complex were extracted; the crack development characteristics of plain soil were analyzed under the PG-DWC (dry-wet cycle caused by plant water management during plant growth period), as well as the crack development characteristics of root-soil complex under PG-DWC and EC-DWC (the dry-wet cycles caused by extreme natural conditions such as continuous rain); the effects of plant roots and dry-wet cycles on soil cracks were discussed. The results showed that the average crack width, crack rate, relative crack area, and total crack length of the alfalfa root-loess complex were higher than those of the plain soil during PG-DWC. The result indicated that compared with plain soil during PG-DWC, the presence of plant roots in alfalfa root-soil complex in the same growth period promoted the cracks development to some extent. The alfalfa root-soil complex crack parameters during different growth periods were relatively stable during PG-DWC (0 dry-wet cycle). During EC-DWC (1, 3, and 5 dry-wet cycles), the alfalfa root-loess complex crack parameters increased with the number of dry-wet cycles during different growth periods. Unlike PG-DWC, the EC-DWC accelerated crack development, and the degree of crack development increased with the number of dry-wet cycles. The existence of plant roots promoted crack development and expansion in the root-soil complex to a certain extent, and the dry-wet cycle certainly promoted crack development and expansion in the root-soil complex. This result contradicts the improvement in the root-soil complex's macro-mechanical properties during plant growth, due to differences in the mechanical properties of roots and soil.

For the initially unsaturated bare slope, a rainfall event with return period of 18 years could trigger a rapid and retrogressive global sliding, which differs from previous findings that gentle slopes would only experience shallow failure.

Through experiments and numerical simulations, plant roots characteristics, soil physical properties and infiltration characteristics of naturally grazed grassland and enclosed grassland with different slope directions were compared and analyzed, and the influence of rainfall on seepage field and stability of the two grassland slopes were discussed. The results show that the highest soil moisture infiltration capacity (FIR) is found on the shady slope of the enclosed grassland (2.25), followed by the sunny slope of the enclosed grassland (1.23) and the shady slope of the naturally grazed grassland (−0.87). Correlation analysis show that soil water content, root dry weight density, total soil porosity, number of forks and root length are positively correlated with infiltration rate (<em>P</em><0.05), whereas soil dry density is negatively correlated with infiltration rate (<em>P</em><0.05). The results of stepwise regression analyses show that soil water content, total soil porosity, root length and number of forks are the main factors affecting soil infiltration capacity. And the ability of roots to increase soil infiltration by improving soil properties is higher than the effect of roots itself. After 60 min of simulated rainfall, the safety factors of the shady slopes of naturally grazed grassland and enclosed grassland are reduced by 29.56% and 19.63%, respectively, comparing to those before rainfall.

However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the effect of porosity and bedding on biocementation in rocks from a mechanistic view. This experimental study investigated the impact of porosity and bedding orientations on the mechanical response of rocks due to biocementations, using two distinct biocementation strategies (MICP and EICP) and characteristically low porosity but interbedded rocks (shale) and more porous but non-bedded (dolostone) rocks. We first conducted biocementation treatments (MICP and EICP) of rock samples over a distinct period and temperature. Subsequently, the rock strength (uniaxial compressive strength, <em>UCS</em>) was measured. Finally, we analyzed the pre- and post-treatment changes in the rock samples to better understand the effect of MICP and EICP biocementations on the mechanical response of the rock samples. The results indicate that biocementations in dolostones can improve the rock mechanical integrity (EICP: +58% <em>UCS</em>; MICP: +25% <em>UCS</em>). In shales, biocementations can either slightly improve (EICP: +1% <em>UCS</em>) or weaken the rock mechanical integrity (MICP: −39% <em>UCS</em>)<em>.</em> Further, results suggest that the major controlling mechanisms of biogeomechanical alterations due to MICP and EICP in rocks can be attributed to the inherent porosity, biocementation type, and bedding orientations, and in few cases the mechanisms can be swelling, osmotic suction, or pore pressurization.
