Influence of Curing Temperature and Freeze‑thaw Cycle on Reinforcement Strength by Microbial Cementation
The current studies on soil improvement by microbial cementation focus on treatment methods and various variables that have influence on the reinforcement effect. Nevertheless, there are a lack of research on curing condition and durability of treated samples. In this study, the microbial cementation was applied to treat marine silt, and Bacillus pasteurus was selected as the microorganism. The two-phase injection method was adopted to reinforce the samples and the influence of curing temperature, freeze-thaw cycles and wet-dry cycles on reinforcement effect was studied. The following results are derived from the experiments: (1) The silt could be cemented with the applied injection method. After eliminating the interference of water, high and low temperatures have no significant effect on the unconfined compressive strength of the sample and the overall percentage of CaCO

. (2) The decline of the unconfined compressive strength by the freeze-thaw cycles mainly occurs in the first freeze-thaw cycle, afterwards with the increased number of freeze-thaw cycles, the reinforcement effect of the sample has no significant variation. The strength of the samples experienced freeze-thaw cycles has a significant increase when the samples are dried but still lower than samples without freeze-thaw cycles. (3) The wet-dry cycles have little effect on the strength of treated samples. Significant strength variation exists in dry and saturated samples, which suggests the water condition of sample has dramatic impact on reinforcement effect. Therefore, the water condition should be specified before strength testing for the purpose of effect evaluation.
