TI  - Experimental Study on the Wind Erosion Resistance of Aeolian Sand Solidified by 
      Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP).

AB  - Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is an emerging solidification 
      method characterized by high economic efficiency, environmental friendliness, and 
      durability. This study validated the reliability of the MICP sand solidification 
      method by conducting a small-scale wind tunnel model test using aeolian sand 
      solidified by MICP and analyzing the effects of wind velocity (7 m/s, 10 m/s, and 
      13 m/s), deflation angle (0 degrees , 15 degrees , 30 degrees , and 45 degrees ), wind erosion cycle (1, 3, and 
      5), and other related factors on the mass loss rate of solidified aeolian sand. 
      The microstructure of aeolian sand was constructed by performing mesoscopic and 
      microscopic testing based on X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier-transform 
      infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). According 
      to the test results, the mass loss rate of solidified aeolian sand gradually 
      increases with the increase in wind velocity, deflation angle, and wind erosion 
      cycle. When the wind velocity was 13 m/s, the mass loss rate of the aeolian sand 
      was only 63.6%, indicating that aeolian sand has excellent wind erosion 
      resistance. CaCO(3) crystals generated by MICP were mostly distributed on sand 
      particle surfaces, in sand particle pores, and between sand particles to realize 
      the covering, filling, and cementing effects.
