Investigating the Factors Affecting the Properties of Coral Sand Treated with Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation

Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) can be used to cement coral sand to improve its engineering properties to protect coastal structures. In this study, a series of laboratory tests were conducted to test the effect of the MICP method by using an ureolytic bacterium (Sporosarcina pasteu...
