Prediction and experimental evaluation of soil-water retention behavior of skeletal calcareous soils
Lyesse Laloui, Saeed Kouzegaran
Skeletal calcareous soils refer to soils consisting of skeletal remains of marine organisms. Although calcareous deposits are prevalent along coastal plains throughout the world, there is no study which investigates their behavior in unsaturated conditions ...
2020Cell-free soil bio-cementation with strength, dilatancy and fabric characterization
Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis
A multi-disciplinary approach is adopted in the present work towards investigating bio-cemented geo-materials which extends from sample preparation, to microstructural inspection and mechanical behaviour characterization. We suggest a new way to induce “ce ...
2019Mineral equilibria and thermodynamic uncertainties in the geothermometrical characterisation of carbonate geothermal systems of low temperature. The case of the Alhama-Jaraba system (Spain)
Geothermometrical characterisation of low-temperature, carbonate-evaporitic geothermal systems is usually hampered by the lack of appropriate mineral equilibria to successfully use most of the classical geothermometers and/or by the thermodynamic uncertain ...
20193-D micro-architecture and mechanical response of soil cemented via microbial-induced calcite precipitation
Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis
We introduce the application of microbial-induced calcite precipitation via the ureolytic soil bacterium Sporosarcina Pasteurii in freeze-dried form, as a means of enhancing overall MICP efficiency and reproducibility for geotechnical engineering applicati ...
2018Effect of treatment on the microstructural characteristics of bio-improved sand
Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis
Bio-chemical processes have recently become the core of several studies in the geoengineering field, where the emphasis is placed on new and emerging applications. Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation has been introduced as an alternative cementation ...
