Quantifying Level of Microbial-Induced Cementation for Cyclically Loaded Sand
Quantifying Level of Microbial-Induced Cementation for Cyclically Loaded Sand is a scholarly work, published in 2017 in ''Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering''. The main subjects of the publication include calcite, mineralogy, geology, precipitation, materials science, grout, composite material, cementation, shear, corrosion inhibitor, and geotechnical engineering. The study illustrates the importance of using shear-wave velocity in addition to mass of calcite to quantify the level of MICP cementation to the corresponding material behavior, since shear-wave velocity is not only affected by the mass of calcite, but also influenced by the distribution of calcite precipitation at the particle contacts.
