摘要
Bio-bricks through MICP exhibits brittle properties and low water resistance. The goal of this study was to use fiber reinforcement and multiple MICP treatment to enhance the resistance of bio-bricks against accelerated water erosion. The reinforcing effects of synthetic fibers, coconut coir fibers, and multiple MICP treatment on properties of MICP-treated bio-bricks were investigated. Experimental results showed a significant improvement in the performance of bio-bricks could be achieved through fiber reinforcement and multiple MICP treatment. The flexure strength and strain of bio-bricks reinforced by 0.3% synthetic fibers increased from 1185 kPa to 1210 kPa, and 1.0% to 2.3%, respectively. The optimum coconut coir fiber content was around 0.6%-0.9%. Multiple MICP treatment method enhanced the resistance of bio-bricks against accelerated erosion significantly. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
