Centrifuge Model Testing of Liquefaction Mitigation via Denitrification-Induced Desaturation
Centrifuge model tests were conducted to evaluate the potential for earthquake-induced soil liquefaction mitigation via microbially mediated denitrification (dissimilatory reduction of nitrogen). Desaturation by denitrifying bacteria is the first stage of a two-stage process to increase earthquake-induced liquefaction resistance referred to as microbially induced desaturation and precipitation (MIDP). In the test described herein, denitrification was induced in Ottawa F-65 sand on the 1-m radius centrifuge at the University of California, Davis NHERI/CGM centrifuge. The degree of saturation was monitored during testing by monitoring soil moisture content. After monitoring indicated that significant desaturation had been induced at 1 g by an enriched denitrifying microorganism culture, the model was accelerated to 80 g. Saturation measurements during spin-up provided insight on the influence of steady state pore pressure on biogenic gas desaturation. Cyclic loading during the ultimate centrifuge acceleration of 80 g demonstrated desaturation via MIDP has potential to mitigate earthquake-induced soil liquefaction.
