The biocementation process is considered as a promising technique for strengthening loose and weak soils. This technique has shown very good efficiency for several types of soil through laboratory tests and large scale models. On the other hand, it has shown a high sensitivity to the treatment conditions such as reactant concentrations, bacteria, injection rate, type of soil, temperature, etc…. These factors influence mainly the spatial distribution of the precipitated calcite, its shape and morphology, which subsequently influences the effective properties of the treated soils. This thesis is part of the French research project BOREAL, which aims at reinforcing old dykes and earth dams with this technique against internal erosion of the co...
