Effect of Different Proportion of Sand in Silt on Bio⁃cementation
The particle size grade of soil has an impact on the effect of bio-cementation; however, the current research on this is insufficient. In this paper, mixed soil of marine silt and single graded sand is strengthened by grouting method. The proportion of sand in the total mass of the sample was increased from 0% to 40%. The compactness is divided into two degrees according to the dry density and initial void ratio of the sample. Sporosarcina pasteurii was selected as microorganism, while a urea and calcium chloride solution of equal proportion and low concentration were chosen as the cementing solution, utilizing a two-step grouting method. Based on unconfined compressive strength test, pore volume measurement, acid pickling determination of calcium carbonate and scanning electron microscope test, macro and micro analyses were performed. The test results show that the addition of sand in silt significantly improves the unconfined compressive strength of microbial solidified samples, reduces the production of calcium carbonate and distribute more evenly, which can reduce the treatment cost. The improvement of compactness is significant for the improvement of unconfined compressive strength, but too dense samples will have an adverse impact on the calcium carbonate distribution: calcium carbonate is too concentrated around the grouting mouth. In the loose state, the more sand is mixed in the silt (no more than 40%), the more the strength is improved. In the dense state, adding a small amount of sand (no more than 20%) into the silt can effectively improve the strength. The smaller the initial void ratio, the greater the strength of the sample, and the less calcium carbonate produced. With the increase of sand content in silt, the sample becomes denser, crystal size decreases, and the number of crystals remarkably increases.
