Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the mechanism of cementation of soil induced by bacteria. In order to understand the mechanism of cementation of soft soils treated with bacteria, six types of specimens(Not treated, Normal concentration bacteria treatment, High concentration bacteria treatment, Supernatant high concentration bacteria treatment, Double high concentration bacteria treatment, and 25% Specimen high concentration bacteria treatment) were made. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), EDX and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were performed on the soft silt and loose sand specimens. Compared with the normal bacteria concentration treated specimen, a clearer cementation between particles was observed in the 25% specimen high bacteria concentration treated specimen. On the basis of the preliminary results, it appears that microbial cementation can occur in the soft soil.
