Water weakening and the compressive brittle strength of carbonates: Influence of fracture toughness and static friction

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Corentin Jean-Marie Rémi Noël, Barnaby Padraig Fryer

Water is ubiquitous within the pore space of rocks and has been shown to affect their physical and mechanical behaviour. Indeed, water can act on the rock strength via mechanical (i.e., reducing the effective stresses) or chemical effects (e.g., mineral di ...

Operando Observation of (Bi)carbonate Precipitation during Electrochemical CO2 Reduction in Strongly Acidic Electrolytes

Corsin Battaglia, Alessandro Senocrate, Nukorn Plainpan

Precipitation of (bi)carbonate salts during the electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) has been identified as a major cause of degradation and one of the main challenges to be overcome before implementing this technology on the industrial scale. Recently, t ...

Strength-promoting mechanism of alkanolamines on limestone-calcined clay cement and the role of sulfate

Karen Scrivener, François Henri Avet, Xuerun Li, Wilasinee Hanpongpun, Hong Huang

This paper reports the strength-promoting mechanism of alkanolamines on limestone-calcined clay cement (LC3). The hydration kinetics, phase formation and microstructure of LC3 with triethanolamine (TEA) or triisopropanolamine (TIPA) were investigated. TEA ...

Modelling transport of biogrout in soils

Lyesse Laloui

Bacterial strains producing urease can have a major impact on the natural calcite precipitation process if they are supplied with nutrients and urea. In Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) process, the precipitated calcite acts as a cementing ag ...

A Bio-hydro-mechanical Model for Propagation of Biogrout in Soils

Lyesse Laloui

Conventional soil improvement techniques can lead to permanent soil pollution or emission of carbon dioxide. It is therefore a challenge for engineers to design alternative sustainable and cost-effective grouting techniques. In Microbial Induced Calcite Pr ...
