Abstract

Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an environmentally friendly approach that relies on the production of calcium carbonate by microorganisms to construct or reinforce coastal structures. In order to address the disadvantages of current coastal countermeasures techniques, MICP is a cost-effective solution that can be used to repair and restore coastal habitats damaged by human activities. The resulting structures formed through MICP are strong and durable, providing long-term protection against erosion and flooding caused by storms or rising sea levels. Biominerals, including calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate, are used to create complex composites with organic molecules by combining the strength of inorganic materials with the versatility and biocompatibility of organic macromolecules. It is of the utmost importance to investigatethe functionality of MICP and scale up its deployment in various fields in order to thoroughly assess the instrument’s application. Coastal erosion has been a severe concern in archipelagic countries. Therefore, this study explored the Miyazaki coast in Japan and the Yogyakarta coastline in Indonesia to minimize coastal erosion using MICP. The bacteria found in Miyazaki (Sporosarcina species) and the Yogyakarta coast (Pseudoalteromonas tetradonis) were used in the experiment. As a result, the sample treated with a gradual injection of the cementation solution achieved about 6 MPa UCS after 21 days of treatment. The objective were investigated the potential biotreatment with original sand materials and to evaluate the long-term durability under saturated conditions. For these purposes, the MICP-treated sand columns were subjected to series of compression tests and wet-drying (WD) durability analysis.

Abstract

Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technology, a method for soil enhancement, has recently garnered considerable attention within geotechnical communities. This study places a significant focus on addressing the paramount concern pertaining to the endurance of MICP-treated specimens. The research centers on MICP-treated samples fortified with plant-derived natural fibers, specifically jute. It evaluates their robustness when subjected to exposure to both distilled water (DW) and artificial seawater (ASW). The primary objectives encompass acquiring a comprehensive understanding of their prolonged performance under varied conditions, appraising the consequences of fiber reinforcement, and augmenting the suitability of MICP-treated samples for applications in the safeguarding of coastal regions against erosion. The investigation subjected these specimens to 12 wetting-drying cycles utilizing artificial seawater following treatment periods of 5 days, 7 days, and 14 days. The findings unveiled an approximate 8.5% diminution in sample mass, with the fibers constituting 2% of the sand's total weight. Moreover, the study underscores the adeptness of the integrated fiber in withstanding the wetting-drying (WD) cyclic process, amplifying the mechanical and physical attributes of the fiber-reinforced MICP-treated specimens, thus contributing significantly to their overall durability.

Abstract

The groundwater quality in Wates coastal area is generally a good category but there are high salinity values at some locations. The chemical quality of groundwater from place to place is different. The difference of water quality is a major problem in the study area. A total of 27 groundwater samples were collected in August, 2017. Geochemical signatures of groundwater were used to analyze the major ionic concentrations in the groundwater, to identify the dominant hydrogeochemical processes, and to determine the relationship between groundwater flow and spatial distribution of water types. Hierarchical Cluster analysis and Schoeller diagram, Gibbs plots, Scatter diagrams, and Piper Trilinear diagram were employed to evaluate the hydrogeochemical evolution of groundwater. In Schoeller diagrams, the relative tendency of ions in meq/L shows Na+ > Mg2+> Ca2+> K+ and HCO3- >Cl- > SO42-trends, typically in saline water. Gibbs diagram reveals that the groundwater chemistry is mainly controlled by rock weathering with secondary contribution from evaporation source. Based on the results of Hierarchical Cluster analysis and Piper diagram, dominant hydrogeochemical facies in the study area are Ca-HCO3, Na-Cl, and Ca-Na-HCO3 types. Ca-HCO3 facies are almost throughout the study area and the evolution of groundwater was mainly controlled by the silicate weathering process. Na-Cl water types are grouping in the study area influenced by cation exchange and evaporation processes, while Ca-Na-HCO3 types are locally grouping with silicate weathering and cation exchange processes. The geology implies that common silicate minerals are found everywhere in the study area. In fact, the distributions of groundwater facies are related to the local geology, which may result in different hydrochemical processes. In addition, lithology is very influential on the existence of groundwater in the study area

Abstract

Human activity affects both natural resources and spatial land use, including its utilization as sand mining sites. Sand mines, as a pillar of building construction, have been over excavated in certain areas, which has impacted the environment. In this research, the purpose of this study was to determine a spatial allocation of the mining designation area that will not damage the groundwater flow. Therefore, it is imperative for understanding the depth of groundwater at the study site, understanding the direction of groundwater flow, and the impact of mining activities on groundwater based on the combination of geophysical and geological approaches to improve the current government policy. A geological-geophysics approach, vertical electrical sounding (VES), was followed at 12 different locations surrounding the Kertek District, which has a general geological formation of igneous volcanic rock sediment. The result of the geophysical measurements (possibilities) indicates the presence of shallow, medium, and deep groundwater aquifers, which tended to follow the slope direction to the south. This may be due to the unsaturated soil conditions as the geoelectrical measurements were taken at the beginning of the rainy season. Finally, the goals of this research were to integrate resources with spatial characteristics to allow proper resources management.
