Experimental Study on the Shear Strength of Loess Modified by Microbial Precipitation Technology by Bing-Xia Wang, Li-Jun Shi, Jian-Hua Dong, Lu Wang, Wen-Tong Tian

“…The shear strength (vertical pressure 50, 100, 200, and 300 kPa) and soil structure of the remolded loess with different proportions of the microbial cementing solution were measured and observed by the direct shear test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The results showed: (1) the increase in the microbial cementation solution led to the transformation of the stress-shear displacement curve from strain hardening to strain softening, with the transition interval of 26%∼34%. (2) With the increase in the microbial cementation solution, the change of cohesion showed a trend of “M,” the inflection point of the microbial cementation solution was 14%, 22%, and 34%, while the internal friction angle showed a law of “W,” where the inflection points of the internal friction angle were about 14%, 30%, 34%, and 38%, respectively. …”
