Micro-scale investigations of temperature-dependent Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) in the temperature range 4-50 °C
Yuze Wang, Yong Wang, Kenichi Soga +2
Microbially-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) involves a series of bio-geochemical reactions whereby microbes alter the surrounding aqueous environment and induce calcium carb…
Liquefaction-Induced Dam Failure Simulation -- A Case for the Material Point Method
Ezra Y. S. Tjung, Kenichi Soga
Seismic analysis of earthen dams is paramount to evaluate the risk of potential liquefaction and strain softening that can cause flow failure. Even though the current state of the…
Enhancing strength of MICP-treated sandy soils: from micro to macro scale
Yuze Wang, Charalampos Konstantinou, Kenichi Soga +3
Microbial-Induced Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) Precipitation (MICP) has been extensively studied for soil improvement in geotechnical engineering. The properties of calcium carbonate…
Modeling irregular boundaries using isoparametric elements in the Material Point Method
Ezra Y. S. Tjung, Shyamini Kularathna, Krishna Kumar +1
The Material Point Method (MPM) is a hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian approach capable of simulating large deformation problems of history-dependent materials. While the MPM can represen…
Scalable and modular material point method for large-scale simulations
Krishna Kumar, Jeffrey Salmond, Shyamini Kularathna +4
In this paper, we describe a new scalable and modular material point method (MPM) code developed for solving large-scale problems in continuum mechanics. The MPM is a hybrid Euleri…
A microfluidic chip and its use in characterising the particle-scale behaviour of Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP)
Yuze Wang, Kenichi Soga, Jason T. DeJong +1
Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) is an innovative ground improvement technique which can enhance the strength and stiffness of soils, and can also control their hyd…
Mechanics of granular column collapse in fluid at varying slope angles
Krishna Kumar, Jean-Yves Delenne, Kenichi Soga
This paper investigates the effect of initial volume fraction on the runout characteristics of collapse of granular columns on slopes in fluid. Two-dimensional sub-grain scale nume…
