Rock and Soil Mechanics
Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has been widely applied for soil reinforcement, but its applications in rock mass permeability reduction have been rarely reported. To explore the plugging mechanism of rock joints using MICP, artificial rock joint specimens made of transparent resin were prepared, and laboratory MICP plugging experiments under six various conditions considering MICP reaction influence factors were performed. Through the plugging experiments, evolution laws of rock joint transmissivity and hydraulic aperture, accompanied with corresponding CaCO3 distribution images, during plugging processes were obtained. The experimental results showed that the hydraulic aperture of rock joint approximately decreases linearly with grouting …

Rock and Soil Mechanics
3D printing, a rapid prototyping technology, has great potential for applications in laboratory rock tests, but the low strength and stiffness of 3D printed samples have been one of the key problems that need to be addressed. In order to find a way to enhance the strength and stiffness of 3D printed rock-like samples, GS19 sand and furan resin were selected as printing materials, and sand 3D printed rock-like samples were used as research objects. Based on this, the samples were post-processed using three different methods: vacuum infiltration, low-temperature treatment, and combination of infiltration and low-temperature. Uniaxial compression tests were …
