TI  - Sandy Soil Improvement through Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) 
      by Immersion.
LID - 10.3791/60059 [doi]
AB  - The goal of this article is to develop an immersion method to improve the 
      microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) treated samples. A batch reactor 
      was assembled to immerse soil samples into cementation media. The cementation 
      media can freely diffuse into the soil samples in the batch reactor instead of 
      cementation media being injected. A full contact flexible mold, a rigid full 
      contact mold, and a cored brick mold were used to prepare different soil sample 
      holders. Synthetic fibers and natural fibers were selected to reinforce the 
      MICP-treated soil samples. The precipitated CaCO3 in different areas of the 
      MICP-treated samples was measured. The CaCO3 distribution results demonstrated 
      that the precipitated CaCO3 was distributed uniformly in the soil sample by the 
      immersion method.
