The differences between the Sporosarcina pasteurii cultured by two mediums were compared in terms of bacterial growth properties, permeability treatment effects, distribution characteristics of induced CaCO<sub>3</sub>, and microscopic crystal characteristics. The study revealed that the culture medium did indeed impact the permeability reduction effect when treated with MICP technology, primarily related to whether urea is added in the culture medium. Two distinct permeability reduction modes were proposed for the treatment process using Sporosarcina pasteurii cultured by different mediums through one-phase injection (mixing bacterial solution and cementing solution). The permeability decreased rapidly, and the distribution of induced CaCO<sub>3</sub> was uneven after treatment with Sporosarcina pasteurii cultured in medium containing urea, while the permeability decreased relatively slowly and the induced CaCO<sub>3</sub> distribution was relatively uniform when treated with Sporosarcina pasteurii cultured in medium without urea. Additionally, differences in crystal morphology were observed due to variations in seepage characteristics during the treatment process with the Sporosarcina pasteurii cultured by different mediums. Finally, some investigations were given to the treatment effect optimization for the treatment process of Sporosarcina pasteurii cultured in medium containing urea.

A novel virtual bond model of cement particles is developed in this paper to depict the thixotropy of cement grout. A particulate description of the reversible and erasable interparticle bonds is established based on experimental observations with a focus on the non-contact interactions mainly contributed in practice by calcium silicate hydrates (C–S–H). The structural breakdown of the cement network is realized through bonds breakage under applied motion, and the bonding network recovers with regeneration of interparticle connections that involve reversible hydrate reactions in the mixture. The balance between bond rupture and rebuilding can be tuned by assigning different strength limits for bond breakage. We have implemented this model in the open-source code Yade to carry out 3D discrete element method simulations of a rotational vane system filled with spherical particles, and the results show good agreement with experimental data. The modelling results reveal the transition from a solid-like structure to a fluid-like medium within cement suspensions caused by the evolution of broken interparticle bonds. The results also provide a distinct view of thixotropic variation upon disturbance. This model is extendable to other cohesive materials providing an explicit physical definition of the interparticle interactions. It also provides a theoretical explanation for the empirical estimations of thixotropy common in engineering industries and a potential means of measuring cementitious granular flow that may be useful in future studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"19 11","pages":"7427 - 7450"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11440-024-02417-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), a biocementation technique, has been applied for subsurface soil stabilization by improving the shear strength of the soil. However, the impact of MICP on the gas permeability of unsaturated soils remains unknown. Considering the role of biocementation in the modification of soil interpores, this study investigated the feasibility of using the MICP technique to reduce the gas permeability of granite residual soils in response to unsaturated conditions. The biocemented soil samples were prepared by mixing soils with MICP chemical solutions at different chemical concentrations. Water retention tests and measurements of gas permeability were performed, in which suction, volumetric water content and gas permeability were continuously monitored. Additionally, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses were performed to investigate the formation of CaCO<sub>3</sub> precipitates; scanning electron microscopy was used to study the impact of MICP on the soil interpore structure, and the acid washing method was used to determine the CaCO<sub>3</sub> content. The results showed that soils treated with higher concentrations of MICP chemical solutions had higher air entry pressures and residual water contents. This indicates the improvement of water retention due to the presence of MICP, which increases the microstructural porosity and enhances the capillarity, as observed via microscopy. Furthermore, the results revealed that biocementation significantly reduced the gas permeability of the soil and that the change in the maximum gas permeability strongly correlated with the MICP chemical solution concentration and the CaCO<sub>3</sub> content. This study highlights the role of MICP in soil–water–air interface studies and the potential application of this biocementation technique to minimizing gas emission issues in landfill cover systems.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"19 11","pages":"7389 - 7405"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional approaches in geotechnical engineering have relied on specific conduction mechanisms and simplifying assumptions to construct theoretical models for electrical conductivity. This paper adopts a different approach by using machine learning methods to predict the electrical conductivity of clay materials. A reliable dataset was generated using the quartet structure generation set to create random clay microstructures and calculate their electrical conductivity. Based on this dataset, machine learning methods such as least squares support vector machine and backpropagation neural networks outperform theoretical models in terms of prediction accuracy and resistance to interference, with a coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) exceeding 0.995 when unaffected by disturbances. The computation of Shapley values for input features aids in explicating the machine learning model. The results reveal that saturation is a key feature in predicting electrical conductivity, while porosity and constrained diameter are relatively less important. Finally, an already trained model is applied to the one-dimensional electroosmosis-surcharge preloading consolidation theory. The results of the calculations demonstrate that neglecting changes in soil electrical conductivity during electroosmosis can lead to an overestimation of the absolute values of anode excess pore water pressure and soil settlement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"19 10","pages":"6553 - 6568"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142434840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
