Abstract
Soil instability is a major concern for engineering and construction communities. In recent years, there has been increased interest in the development of more sustainable, bio-inspired geotechnical techniques. This research is focused on the bio-cementation technique of microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) to strengthen soils. MICP is highly dependent on environmental conditions and some field-scale applications have found calcite precipitation during treatment to be non-uniform and have “low certainty of execution.” This research aims to create a series of potentiometric biogeochemical ion selective sensors that can allow for the monitoring of the MICP reaction in real-time during treatment.
