Discrete element method simulations of bio-cemented sands
AbstractMicrobially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has emerged as a novel soil improvement method. In this paper, 3-D discrete element method (DEM) simulations are used to explore the behavior of MICP-cemented sands. Comparisons of the macro-scale response of numerical and physical specimens are made. Microstructure analyses indicate a shear band formed in the numerical specimens, consistent with physical experiments. The bond breakage pattern in numerical specimens is explored and compared to observed measurements from physical specimens. The relationship between dilatancy and stress-strain behavior is evaluated. The results indicate DEM is an effective technique to capture the mechanical behavior of MICP-cemented sand.
