Strength improvement of sand treated by biocementation process and hemp fiber
Piriyakul, Keeratikan1, Iamchaturapatr, Janjit2.
This article presents the green technology using biocementation process to initiate the
crystal forms of carbonates to bind the soil particles resulting in soil mechanical
improvement. This research examines the feasibility of microorganisms capable of
hydrolyzing urea with production of carbonate collected from natural and agricultural soils.
The biocement was prepared by a mixture of calcium salt, urea, and microbial suspension
extracted from collected soil samples. The calcium crystal forming shapes was studied. This
research measured the ammonification rate in biocemented process. Non-destructive
testing method using shear wave velocity was applied for strength measurement in sand
mixed with hemp fiber of 0.5 1.0 2.5 5.0 10.0 and 20.0% by volume. The optimum hemp fiber
of 2.5% was found and formation of calcite layer on sand surface could be useful for the
stabilization of the sand or earth structures.
