A Comprehensive optimization study of Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) for soil strength enhancement: impact of biochemical and environmental factors
Yuze Wang, Charalampos Konstantinou
Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) is a biocementation technique that modifies the hydraulic and mechanical properties of porous materials using bacterial solutions…
Fracture of bio-cemented sands
C. Konstantinou, E. Martínez-Pañeda, G. Biscontin +1
Bio-chemical reactions enable the production of biomimetic materials such as sandstones. In the present study, microbiologically-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is u…
Development of a fracture capture simulator to quantify the instability evolution in porous medium
Ramesh Kannan Kandasami, Charalampos Konstantinou, Giovanna Biscontin
Understanding and controlling fracture propagation is one of the most challenging engineering problems, especially in the oil and gas sector, groundwater hydrology and geothermal e…
A numerical characterisation of unconfined strength of weakly consolidated granular packs and its effect on fluid-driven fracture behaviour
Paula A. Gago, Charalampos Konstantinou, Giovanna Biscontin +1
Soft or weakly-consolidated sand refers to porous materials composed of particles (or grains) weakly held together to form a solid but that can be easily broken when subjected to s…
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…
