Desiccation Cracking Behavior of MICP-Treated Bentonite

Desiccation Cracking Behavior of MICP-Treated Bentonite

This study aims to characterize the effect of microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) on the desiccation cracking behaviors of compacted calcium bentonite soils. We prepare six groups of samples by mixing bentonites with deionized water, pure bacteria solution, pure cementation solution, and...
