Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation for Seepage-Induced Internal Erosion Control in Sand–Clay Mixtures

Ningjun Jiang; Kenichi Soga; Matthew Kuo

AbstractEarth embankment dams are one of the most commonly constructed hydraulic infrastructures worldwide. One mode of dam failure is piping through the embankment, which is initiated by internal erosion of soil particles inside dams. In this study, the applicability of microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) for internal erosion control is examined in the laboratory using sand-kaolin mixtures of different particle sizes. A series of internal erosion tests are conducted using a newly designed rigid-wall column erosion test apparatus, which allows independent control of MICP treatment. Erosion rate/coefficient, volumetric change, and permeability are characterized during the internal erosion process. It is found that MICP treatment facilitates the reduction of erosion and volumetric contraction of sand-clay mixtures investigated in the current study. Carbonate precipitation increases the erosion resistance of sand-clay mixtures by absorbing/coating fine particles directly and bridging the conta...
