    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), For over a thousand years, many ancient cements have remained durable despite long-term exposure to atmospheric or humid agents. This review paper summarizes technologies of worldwide ancient architectures which have shown remarkable durability that has preserved them over thousands of years of constant erosion. We aim to identify the influence of organic and inorganic additions in altering cement properties and take these lost and forgotten technologies to the production frontline. The types of additions were usually decided based on the local environment and purpose of the structure. The ancient Romans built magnificent structures by making hydraulic cement using volcanic ash. The ancient Chinese introduced sticky rice and other local materials to improve the properties of pure lime cement. A variety of organic and inorganic additions used in traditional lime cement not only changes its properties but also improves its durability for centuries. The benefits they bring to cement may also be useful in enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) and microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) fields. For instance, sticky rice has been confirmed to play a crucial role in regulating calcite crystal growth and providing interior hydrophobic conditions, which contribute to improving the strength and durability of EICP- and MICP-treated samples in a sustainable way.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Microbial Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) has recently become a new technology for stabilizing the slope surface. The applicability of MICP, however, is limited in fine-grained soils due to the restrictions regarding the transportation of bacteria cells. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of an alternative called Bacterial-Enzyme Induced Carbonate Precipitation (B-EICP) for stabilizing the fine-grained slope soils. Unlike the MICP strategy (involving whole-cells of bacteria), the proposed B-EICP utilizes bacterial urease to induce the bio-cement formation within soil. The whole-cell culture of Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus was subjected to cyclic sonication to extract the free urease suspension. The B-EICP treatment was performed to the columns prepared using two different soils obtained from representative expressway slopes. The cementation responses of the proposed B-EICP were compared with that of typical MICP method, especially from the following viewpoints, (i) adaptability to soil with high fine-grained content, (ii) conditions under which B-EICP can be effectively applied and (iii) cementation under low temperature. The results revealed that the extract solution had higher urease activity compared to original bacteria culture, and the activity remained more stable at low temperature conditions (15°C). The results further confirmed that B-EICP method is more suitable for stabilizing soils with large amount of fine particles. Comparing with MICP, the B-EICP resulted higher unconfined compressive strength (over 1200 kPa) and deeper cementation in the silty sand. Microscale analysis suggested that the B-EICP could induce smaller calcium carbonate crystals than that by MICP, but the number of crystals in B-EICP were significantly more, thus contributed to increased particle-particle cementation., 13227211

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Greenhouse gas emissions are a critical problem nowadays. The cement manufacturing sector alone accounts for 8% of all human-generated emissions, and as the world’s population grows and globalization intensifies, this sector will require significantly more resources. In order to fulfill the need of geomaterials for construction and to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, conventional approaches to soil reinforcement need to be reconsidered. Calcium phosphate compounds (CPCs) are new materials that have only recently found their place in the soil reinforcement field. Its eco-friendly, non-toxic, reaction pathway is highly dependent on the pH of the medium and the concentration of components inside the solution. CPCs has advantages over the two most common environmental methods of soil reinforcement, microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) and enzyme induced carbonate precipitation (EICP); with CPCs, the ammonium problem can be neutralized and thus allowed to be applied in the field. In this review paper, the advantages and disadvantages of the engineering uses of CPCs for soil improvement have been discussed. Additionally, the process of how CPCs perform has been studied and an analysis of existing studies related to soil reinforcement by CPC implementation was conducted., 36907423

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Abstract

    Biocementation using enzyme induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) process has become an innovative method for soil improvement. One of the major limitations in scaling-up of biocement treatment is the emission of gaseous ammonia during the urea hydrolysis, which is environmentally hazardous. In order to eliminate this shortcoming, this paper presents a series of experiments performed to evaluate a novel approach for preventing the ammonia byproducts in the EICP process via the use of polyacrylic acid (PAA). Through the adjustment of the pH to acidic, PAA not only promotes the enzyme activity, but also averts the conversion of ammonium to gaseous ammonia and its release, thus preventing any harm to the environment. The sand samples were treated with cementation solution and assessed for improvement in strength. Calcium carbonate content measurements and X-ray powder diffraction analysis identified the calcite crystals precipitated in the soil pores. Scanning electron microscopy analysis clearly showed that calcium carbonate was precipitated connecting soil particles, thus providing a uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of up to 1.65 MPa. Overall, the inhibition in the speciation of gaseous ammonia shows the great potential of PAA for large-scale promotion of biocement., 36907423

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Soil improvement via MICP (microbially induced carbonate precipitation) technologies has recently received widespread attention in the geoenvironmental and geotechnical fields. The durability of MICP-treated samples remains a critical concern in this novel method. In this work, fiber (jute)-reinforced MICP-treated samples were investigated to evaluate their durability under exposure to distilled water (DW) and artificial seawater (ASW), so as to advance the understanding of long-term performance mimicking real field conditions, along with improvement of the MICP-treated samples for use in coastal erosion protection. Primarily, the results showed that the addition of fiber (jute) improved the durability of the MICP-treated samples by more than 50%. Results also showed that the wet–dry (WD) cyclic process resulted in adverse effects on the mechanical and physical characteristics of fiber-reinforced MICP-treated samples in both DW and ASW. The breakdown of calcium carbonates and bonding effects in between the sand particles was discovered to be involved in the deterioration of MICP samples caused by WD cycles, and this occurs in two stages. The findings of this study would be extremely beneficial to extend the insight and understanding of improvement and durability responses for significant and effective MICP treatments and/or re-treatments.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Recently, green materials and technologies have received considerable attention in geotechnical engineering. One of such techniques is microbially-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP). In the MICP process, CaCO3 is achieved bio-chemically within the soil, thus enhancing the strength and stiffness. The purpose of this study is to introduce the wastepaper fiber (WPF) onto the MICP (i) to study the mechanical properties of MICP-treated sand with varying WPF content (0-8%) and (ii) to assess the freeze-thaw (FT) durability of the treated samples. Findings revealed that the ductility of the treated samples increases with the increase in WPF addition, while the highest UCS is found with a small fiber addition. The results of CaCO3 content suggest that the WPF addition enhances the immobilization of the bacteria cells, thus yielding the precipitation content. However, shear wave velocity analysis indicates that a higher addition of WPF results in rapid deterioration of the samples when subjected to freeze-thaw cycles. Microscale analysis illuminates that fiber clusters replace the solid bonding at particle contacts, leading to reduced resistance to freeze-thaw damage. Overall, the study demonstrates that as a waste material, WPF could be sustainably reused in the bio-cementation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Biomineralization is a process of mineral formation in living organisms. Compared with nonbiogenic minerals, biominerals can be defined as organic-inorganic hybrid materials that have excellent physical and optical properties. In the current study, an artificial protein mimicking the outer shell of crayfish, composed of CaCO3, chitin, and proteins, was developed to facilitate organic-inorganic hybrid material formation by precipitation of calcium carbonate on the chitin matrix. The fusion protein (CaBP-ChBD) was constructed by introducing a short-sequence calcite-binding peptide (CaBP) into the chitin-binding domain (ChBD). Calcium carbonate precipitation experiments by enzymatic urea hydrolysis revealed that a significant increase in the CaCO3 formation was achieved by adding CaBP-ChBD. Also, CaCO3 was efficiently deposited on chitin particles decorated with CaBP-ChBD. Most interestingly, CaBP-ChBD would improve the performance in sand solidification more efficiently and sustainably in the process of biocementation technique. The developed recombinant protein could be used for the sustainable production of organic-inorganic green materials for engineering applications.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Peat is one of the most challenging and problematic soils in the fields of geotechnical and environmental engineering. The most critical problems related to peat soils are extremely low strength and high compressibility, resulting in poor inhabitancy and infrastructural developments in their vicinity. Thus far, peat soils were stabilized using Portland cement; however, the production of Portland cement causes significant emission of greenhouse gases, which is not environmentally desirable. Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an innovative technique for improving the mechanical properties of soil through potentially environmentally friendly processes. This article presents a laboratory study carried out with the aim of investigating the viability and effect of scallop shell powder (SSP) on enhancing the mechanical properties of the MICP-treated amorphous peat. The hypothesis was that the distribution of SSP (as-derived calcite particles) would (i) provide more nucleation sites to precipitates and (ii) increase the connectivity of MICP bridges to facilitate mineral skeleton to amorphous peat, accompanied by an increase in its compressive strength. Specimens were treated at varying combinations of SSP and MICP reagents, and the improvement was comprehensively assessed through a series of unconfined compression tests and supported by microscale and chemical analyses such as scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The outcomes showed that incorporating SSP in MICP treatment would be a promising approach to treat amorphous peat soils. The proposed approach could improve the unconfined compressive strength by over 200% after a 7-day curing period, while the conventional MICP could not exhibit any significant improvements.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), AbstractBeachrocks are sedimentary structures where gravelly or sandy beaches have been transformed into rock outcrops formed through precipitation of connective cements amid their interstices. They are well-noted coastal features along the coastal belt of Sri Lanka due to the prevalent tropical climate. This study was aimed at gathering data on surface nature and cementation characteristics of beachrock occurrences along a part of Sri Lankan shoreline through field observations and a series of analyses including X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques and petrographic thin-section analysis. The combined research findings from different techniques are also employed as a preliminary step to determine the formation mechanism of the studied beachrocks. The seaward-inclined low-angle beds running parallel to present shoreline are composed mostly of sandstone with occasional conglomerate. Almost all the beachrocks are made of quartz grains amalgamated by cement. One remarkable feature of Sri Lankan beachrocks is the presence of heavy minerals generally in thin lamina form. The cementing agents are predominantly composed of metastable carbonate phases, high magnesium calcite (HMC) and aragonite (Ar) with varying microfabrics and textures. From SEM examinations and thin-section images, main morphologies identified are acicular Ar, scalenohedral magnesium calcites along with bridge cements and micritic coatings which are typical of a marine-phreatic precipitation with the exception of occasional meniscus cements. Further, the presence of evidences of living organisms may be an indication of influence from the biological aspects which can be confirmed by more detailed analyses.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Recently, soil improvement using EICP (Enzyme-Induced Carbonate Precipitation) methods in the geotechnical and geo-environmental field has become a prominent interest worldwide. The objective of this study was to develop an improved extraction technique of crude urease from watermelon seeds in both dry and germinated conditions. Subsequently, this study also analyzed the improvement methodology of crystal polymorphs and soil bonding incorporation of various Mg2+/Ca2+ ratios. The optimization of enzyme-mediated carbonate precipitation was also investigated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Results confirmed that the precipitated crystals are mainly calcite, vaterite and aragonite primarily (depending on the Mg2+/Ca2+ ratios). Therefore, to improve the bonding capacity in between the sand particles a novel improvement methodology was investigated by adding various Mg2+/Ca2+ ratios. The mechanical properties of the treated soil (Mikawa Sand, D-50 = 0.870 mm) specimens were tested by unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and this confirmed the effectiveness of adding various Mg2+/Ca2+ ratios. The results of the UCS tests showed that, the lower molar ratios of Mg2+/Ca2+ can significantly improve the UCS of the specimen (up to 50%) which could be considered a significant outcome for different bio-geotechnical applications., 13227211

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In recent years, the formation of artificial beachrock and bio-cementation method has gained considerable attention as a sustainable alternative tool in the area of geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering field for soil improvement and construction materials. In general, earlier methods of soil improvement were mostly concentrated on microbes (Bacteria, Fungi, etc.) as a source of urease enzyme widely known as MICP method (Microbial Induced Carbonate Precipitation). To address some of the key limitations of MICP method this study focused on using crude enzyme (low cost, eco-friendly). Crude enzyme was extracted from watermelon seeds (Citrullus lanatus) considered as "food waste material" and the carbonate formation process known as EICP "Enzyme Induced Carbonate Precipitation." Crushed and blended watermelon seeds (both dry and germinated) used as a source of urease enzyme. Subsequently, their urease activity was also investigated with various environmental parameters (Temperature, pH, etc.) and investigated the carbonate precipitation trend using calcium chloride (CaCl2) and urea [ (CO(NH2)(2)]. The form of carbonate (calcite, aragonite, vaterite, etc.) was also confirmed by XRD and SEM-EDX analysis. Finally, syringe (d = 2.3 cm, h= 7.1 cm) sand solidification test was conducted using commercially available "Mikawa sand" (mean diameter, D-50 = 870 mm) and successfully achieved unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of about 1.2 MPa at neutral pH (similar to 7) and temperature condition (30 degrees C) considering various curing days and conditions. This study could be useful as an eco-friendly and sustainable method for numerous bio-geotechnical applications (for instance, ground improvement, liquefaction mitigation, artificial beach rock formations, coastal erosion protection, etc.) and the extracted crude urease from watermelon seeds could play as an alternative to replace commercially available urease for carbonate precipitation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Peat soil is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation, formed under the condition of nearly permanent water saturation, which makes the high moisture and compressibility as two main features of peat. In recent years, the lack of construction lands diverts researchers' attention to make use of marginal grounds, like peatland, after some improvements. The past decade has witnessed a growing interest in microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) due to its reliability, broad application, and potential contribution to sustainable and green development. This study has two primary aims: (i) investigating the feasibility and effectiveness of MICP in peat soil combined with bamboo fiber reinforcement, and (ii) ascertaining the mechanism of bamboo fiber incorporated MICP. Bamboo fiber possesses some unparalleled advantages owing to its fast growth and ability to survive in diverse climates. This study differs from previous researches in the use of native bacteria isolated from the peat soil, while most of them were conducted using exogenous bacteria, which might pose a threat regarding adaption and microbial pollution. Different concentrations of cementation resources (1-3 mol/L) and proportion of fibers (0-50%) were studied, and each case was well designed. Treated samples were subjected to the fall cone test to estimate the undrained shear strength at certain time intervals. The results revealed that samples with higher fiber content gained higher strength than others did, whereas high initial cementation resources in soil could reduce strength. Microscale observations were also performed on treated samples to clarify the mechanism of MICP incorporated with fiber.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A great deal of progress has been made in recent years to investigate the chemical characteristics of beachrocks. Beachrocks found in Krakal-Sadranan Beach (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) are spread locally, parallel to the coastline with a breadth of about 10-30 m(2). In this research, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) drone mapping, geological analysis, direct current resistivity survey, and surface seismic surveys were conducted to detect the underground structure of the beachrocks and to emphasize the coastal mapping based on targeted beachrocks. The correlation was developed between the sections and the data on the study site. Toward survey validation, laboratory tests were conducted on the beachrock samples collected from the study site to identify its properties. The evolution of the coastal zone based on beachrocks study is highly affected by relative sea-level changes that were described in the 3D model of beachrocks. The coastal changes are significantly impact the natural and cultural resources, and the understanding of coastal evolution is important for the preservation, development, and management of the coastal zone. This paper focused on the cementation processes and mechanism of beachrocks as a natural wave barrier in a tropical area, which is also appropriate for advanced marine ecosystems study including shorelines microbiotas.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), AbstractThe present study investigated biosorption of Pb (II) and Zn (II) using a heavy metal tolerant bacterium Oceanobacillus profundus KBZ 3-2 isolated from a contaminated site. The effects of process parameters such as effect on bacterial growth, pH and initial lead ion concentration were studied. The results showed that the maximum removal percentage for Pb (II) was 97% at an initial concentration of 50 mg/L whereas maximum removal percentage for Zn (II) was at 54% at an initial concentration of 2 mg/L obtained at pH 6 and 30 °C. The isolated bacteria were found to sequester both Pb (II) and Zn (II) in the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The EPS facilitates ion exchange and metal chelation-complexation by virtue of the existence of ionizable functional groups such as carboxyl, sulfate, and phosphate present in the protein and polysaccharides. Therefore, the use of indigenous bacteria in the remediation of contaminated water is an eco-friendly way of solving anthropogenic contamination.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), The studied coastal aquifer has been encountered a complex hydrochemical evolution. Interesting aspect is the occurrence of groundwater facies with different water chemistries in close proximity to each other. Water salinity is reported from local parts away from shore. This research was conducted for assessment of aquifer weathering and its control on groundwater chemistry. An investigation of major ions in 27 water samples was performed with geostatistics, graphical method, mineral saturation index and mass balance transport to identify the groundwater evolution. Geochemical analysis of sediments was made of 8 samples, to estimate the weathering degree using chemical index of alteration and chemical index of weathering. Silicate dissolution was promoted by low weathering, which was reflected in low ions dominated by calcium and bicarbonate in fresh water. It leaded to fine sands. Silts were dominant under moderate weathering. Sodium and calcium were higher than fresh water. Bicarbonate was still highest concentration. Main water was the mixed type which was indicated by moderate ions. Clays were formed by high weathering. Water salinity with highest dissolved solids was caused by halite dissolution and calcium adsorption on clays. Overall, groundwater chemistry in the study area is locally characterized by prevailing lithology in grouping patterns.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Concrete, as the world’s most implemented construction material, is increasingly being used because of the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization. Limited resources and progressive depravation of the environment are forcing scientific efforts to seek alternative and effective materials from large amounts of natural resources as additives in the partial replacement of cement. Cement is a main constituent of concrete. To solve and minimize environmental issues, research works attempting to employ the wide availability of agricultural wastes, such as sugar cane bagasse, rice husk, sugar cane straw, and palm oil fuel, among others, into cement, and to finally bring sustainable and environmentally friendly properties to concrete are being examined. Agro-waste materials are crushed into fine and coarse aggregates or are burnt into ash, and are then mixed with cement, which is known as agro-cement. The replacement of aggregates, either partially or fully, is also deemed as a sustainable material in construction. This paper mainly reviews the current research on agro-cement that has been researched and applied for the enhancement of the strength and durability of concrete. It further summarizes the relevant knowledge and techniques, while providing optimal parameters for applying agricultural wastes in concrete.

    Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 9, 20, MDPI AG, 2019年10月01日
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In recent years, traditional material for coastal erosion protection has become very expensive and not sustainable and eco-friendly for the long term. As an alternative countermeasure, this study focused on a sustainable biological ground improvement technique that can be utilized as an option for improving the mechanical and geotechnical engineering properties of soil by the microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) technique considering native ureolytic bacteria. To protect coastal erosion, an innovative and sustainable strategy was proposed in this study by means of combing geotube and the MICP method. For a successful sand solidification, the urease activity, environmental factors, urease distribution, and calcite precipitation trend, among others, have been investigated using the isolated native strains. Our results revealed that urease activity of the identified strains denoted as G1 (Micrococcus sp.), G2 (Pseudoalteromonas sp.), and G3 (Virgibacillus sp.) relied on environment-specific parameters and, additionally, urease was not discharged in the culture solution but would discharge in and/or on the bacterial cell, and the fluid of the cells showed urease activity. Moreover, we successfully obtained solidified sand bearing UCS (Unconfined Compressive Strength) up to 1.8 MPa. We also proposed a novel sustainable approach for field implementation in a combination of geotube and MICP for coastal erosion protection that is cheaper, energy-saving, eco-friendly, and sustainable for Mediterranean countries, as well as for bio-mediated soil improvement.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Environmental impacts resulting from historic lead and zinc mining in Kabwe, Zambia affect human health due to the dust generated from the mine waste that contains lead, a known hazardous pollutant. We employed microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), an alternative capping method, to prevent dust generation and reduce the mobility of contaminants. Pb-resistant Oceanobacillus profundus KBZ 1-3 and O. profundus KBZ 2-5 isolated from Kabwe were used to biocement the sand that would act as a cover to prevent dust and water infiltration. Sand biocemented by KBZ 1-3 and KBZ 2-5 had maximum unconfined compressive strength values of 3.2 MPa and 5.5 MPa, respectively. Additionally, biocemented sand exhibited reduced water permeability values of 9.6 × 10-8 m/s and 8.9 × 10-8 m/s for O. profundus KBZ 1-3 and KBZ 2-5, respectively, which could potentially limit the entrance of water and oxygen into the dump, hence reducing the leaching of heavy metals. We propose that these isolates represent an option for bioremediating contaminated waste by preventing both metallic dust from becoming airborne and rainwater from infiltrating into the waste. O. profundus KBZ 1-3 and O. profundus KBZ 2-5 isolated form Kabwe represent a novel species that has, for the first time, been applied in a bioremediation study.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Single-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were constructed using rice bran (carbon source) and pond bottom mud (microbial source). The total electric charge obtained in the MFC combining rice bran with pond bottom mud was four times higher than that in MFC using only rice bran. Phylogenetic analyses revealed dominant growth of fermentative bacteria such as Bacteroides and Clostridium species, and exoelectrogenic Geobacter species in the anode biofilms, suggesting that mutualism of these bacteria is a key factor for effective electricity generation in the MFC. Furthermore, rice bran, consisting of persistent polysaccharide, was pretreated by the hydrodynamic cavitation system to improve the digestibility and enhance the efficiency in MFC, resulting in 26% increase in the total production of electricity.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Incorporating sustainable materials into geotechnical applications increases day by day due to the consideration of impacts on healthy geo-environment and future generations. The environmental issues associated with conventional synthetic materials such as cement, plastic-composites, steel and ashes necessitate alternative approaches in geotechnical engineering. Recently, natural fiber materials in place of synthetic material have gained momentum as an emulating soil-reinforcement technique in sustainable geotechnics. However, the natural fibers are innately different from such synthetic material whereas behavior of fiber-reinforced soil is influenced not only by physical-mechanical properties but also by biochemical properties. In the present review, the applicability of natural plant fibers as oriented distributed fiber-reinforced soil (ODFS) and randomly distributed fiber-reinforced soil (RDFS) are extensively discussed and emphasized the inspiration of RDFS based on the emerging trend. Review also attempts to explore the importance of biochemical composition of natural-fibers on the performance in subsoil reinforced conditions. The treatment methods which enhances the behavior and lifetime of fibers, are also presented. While outlining the current potential of fiber reinforcement technology, some key research gaps have been highlighted at their importance. Finally, the review briefly documents the future direction of the fiber reinforcement technology by associating bio-mediated technological line.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is one of techniques for consolidation of cementitious materials
    however, limited biodiversity and inadequate information on its application suggests further extensive research in this area. In this study, bacteria with ability to precipitate carbonate, preferably CaCO3, were isolated from Yixing Shanjuan Cave, China after analyzing bacterial diversity using Illumina MiSeq sequencing the V3-V4 region of 16S rRNA gene. A total of 58,712 effective 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained, classified into 31 bacterial phyla. One of the highest urease-producing bacterium, Acinetobacter sp. SC4, was then used in consolidation of cracks created in masonry cement mortars. The bio-consolidation led to significant improvement in compressive strength and reduction in water absorption of mortars. It formed calcite observed under scanning electron microscopy, which were in agreement with X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The presented work is the first extensive study on Acinetobacter sp. induced carbonate precipitation in MICP related research.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) by using ureolytic bacteria is a novel and environmentally friendly way to treat the un-cemented sand. It was implemented successfully in number of geotechnical applications. Use of organic additives to improve the MICP process is a novel and interesting approach. In this research, effect of the cationic biopolymer poly-l-lysine on the MICP process was investigated by using ureolytic bacteria Pararhodobacter sp. Urea hydrolysis by the bacteria in the presence of CaCl2 was conducted with the addition of the polymer under different conditions. Morphology of the precipitate of CaCO3 after oven dried was analyzed by using the scanning electron microscope. Bell-shaped curve was obtained for the variation between the amount of the precipitate with the increase of the amount of the poly-l-lysine. Poly-L-lysine gives higher amount of precipitate than conventional MICP process and morphology of the crystals changed drastically from well-developed rhombohedral crystals to ellipsoidal shaped aggregates.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Biomineralization is an environmentally friendly technology for improving soil-engineering properties. One of the most common biomineralization processes is microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP). In this study, sand solidification tests were conducted using Pararhodobacter sp., which is a local ureolytic bacteria obtained from the sand near beach rock in Okinawa, Japan. The goal of this study was to solidify a specimen having an estimated unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of more than several MPa to improve soil properties and investigate the influence of various factors on the engineering properties of treated soil catalyzed by ureolytic bacteria (curing temperature, injection interval of cementation solution, Ca2+ concentration, curing time, bacterial population, re-injection of bacteria and particle size of sand). Model test specimens were cemented up to an estimated UCS of 10 MPa after 14 days under the following conditions: a curing temperature of 30°C, an injection interval of 1 day, and a Ca2+ concentrations in cementation solution of 0.5 M. Multiple regression analysis showed that the relevant conditions for estimating UCS were test period, D (days), and Ca2+ concentration of the cementation solution, Cca (M). The formula for predicting the estimated UCS (qeu (MPa)) was qeu = 13.99 Cca + 0.37 D-0.09. Overall, the results of this study will contribute to the application of a new technique to sand improvement and bio-stimulation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Lead (Pb2+) is a toxic heavy metal that has a severe negative effect on human health and the environment. Physical, chemical and biological remediation techniques have long been used to remediate lead contamination. However, because of the great danger posed by lead contamination, there is increasing interest to apply ecofriendly and sustainable methods to remediate lead. Therefore, this study was conducted to use the microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technique in conjunction with the bacterium Pararhodobacter sp. to bioremediate lead. Laboratory scale experiments were conducted and complete removal of 1036 mg/L of Pb2+ was achieved. These results were further confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, which indicated coprecipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and lead. The unconfined compressive strength increased with an increase in injection interval with maximum unconfined compressive strength of 1.33 MPa for fine sand, 2.87 MPa for coarse sand and 2.80 MPa for mixed sand. For Pararhodobacter sp. to efficiently induce lead immobilisation the bacterial interval required is four times with a calcium and urea concentration of 0.5 M and bacterial concentration of 109 cfu/mL. Very few low-cost in situ heavy metal treatment processes for lead bioremediation are available; therefore, bioimmobilization of lead by MICP has the potential for application as a low-cost and eco-friendly method for heavy metal remediation.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Pararhodobacter sp. SW is a urease-producing bacterium and can be used for microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). In the present study, microbial cells are directly used for the analysis of urease activity without extraction or purification of urease. The whole-cell evaluation of the bacteria provides important and comprehensive information on urease activity because the bacterial cells are directly used in biomineralization process. The urease activity of Pararhodobacter sp. increased with cell growth during cultivation and the bacteria maintained its enzyme activity even after 15-days culture. High urease activity was obtained at relatively high temperature around 60 degrees C and neutral pH around 8. It is revealed that urease was not secreted in culture medium but would accumulate in/on the cell, and resuspended cells obviously showed urease activity. Meanwhile, the enzyme activity was detected in a soluble fraction of cell lysate. Furthermore, clear band based on urease activity was observed in soluble fraction of cell lysate in native PAGE analysis followed by activity staining. These findings will contribute to the efficient biocementation using this ureolytic bacteria. (c) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In recent years, traditional forms of river and coastal structures have become very expensive to build and maintain, because of the shortage of natural rock. Therefore, the materials used in hydraulic and coastal structures are changing from traditional rubble and concrete systems to cheaper, sustainable, and eco-friendly materials and systems such as artificial rock, gabion, slags, geosynthetics, and so on. Moreover, shorelines are being continually eroded by the wave action of the sea, and the river and coastal structures are frequently damaged by both anthropogenic and natural causes such as over wash and storm. How to deal with eroding coastal problems is a main topic of this article. Recently, artificial beachrock and geotextile tube technology has changed from being an alternative construction technique and, in fact, has advanced to become the prime solution of choice. Therefore, the objectives of the present study is to find out the feasibility to protect coastal erosion in Asia along with using artificial beachrock and geotextile tube technology in a cheaper, sustainable and eco-friendly way.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Biogrouting is a method employed for ground improvement based on microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation. It is commonly believed that biogrout has environmental and economic benefits. However, there remains the need to clearly understand the internal structure of biogrouted soil. In this study, we use microfocus X-ray computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the porosity in biogrouted sand. X-ray CT is useful as a non-distractive inspection tool. First, we prepare small specimens using coral sand at different dilution rates of culture solution. After carrying out a solidification test for 2 wks., we perform an unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test and measure the porosity of the specimens. Our aim is to investigate the influence of the dilution rate on the UCS and the porosity of sand specimens. The results show that a lower dilution rate resulted in a lower sand-specimen porosity and an increase in the UCS. We investigate the precipitation that fills a void. Then, we investigate the relationship between UCS and the ratio of porosity. There was a negative correlation between UCS and porosity, which closely agrees with previous research. We confirm the validity of the result, and we determine the UCS from the porosity.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In this study, the effect of acid rain on the physico-chemical and microstructural properties of two different residual soils was investigated. In order to reproduce the process of soil-acid rain-chemical interaction, an infiltration setup was fabricated. The samples were then infiltrated by different pH levels of acid rain, and for different fluxes of acid rain equivalent to the precipitation, for 1-20 years. The compressive strength, consistency limit, compaction characteristics, and coefficient of permeability were evaluated, to investigate the mechanical changes of the soils after being exposed to acid rain. In addition, zeta potential, atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were carried out to identify the underlying controlling mechanisms. The results showed that low pH and high fluxes of acid rain led to a reduction in soil strength and maximum dry density as well as an increase in the coefficient of permeability, liquid limit, and optimum moisture content of the soil. The SEM, EDX, and atomic absorption analysis of the soils confirmed the reduction in the concentration of elements, and the loose structure for both soils due to the effects of acid rain.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Peaty soil is widely distributed in Hokkaido. Untreated, it is too soft for use as a civil engineering material. Soil solidification improvement technologies that harness the metabolism of microbes in soil have recently been gaining attention. Such research and development has proceeded within and beyond Japan. The researchers investigated a technology for peat solidification that harnesses the ability of microbes inhabiting the soil of construction sites to precipitate calcium carbonate, and consideration was given to solidifying peaty soil by harnessing the ability of those microbes. Focusing on the urease activity of microbes, which has an influence on solidification of peaty soil, a soil solidification test, in which the metabolism of microbes was utilized, and an experiment, in which the degree of solidification of peaty soil was tested, were done by using peaty soil samples from Hokkaido. The two experiments found the following. 1) Microbes that have urease activity inhabit the peaty soil of Hokkaido. 2) It is possible to solidify peaty soil by enhancing the urease activity of these microbes. 3) It is possible to evaluate the degree of urease activity in peaty soil by measuring its electric conductivity.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), To develop an alternative ground improvement technique in coastal areas based on bio-stimulation, we investigated sand cementation using bacteria that have been shown to enhance beachrock formation. We conducted cementation tests using Pararhodobacter sp. strain SO1, a local ureolytic bacteria originating from the sand near beachrock in Okinawa, Japan. Specifically, we attempted to cement sand specimens to unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of several MPa and establish the influence of several test conditions (curing temperature, injection interval of cementation solution, Ca2+ concentration and sodium malate concentration in the cementation solution, and test period) on the UCS. Column specimens were cemented up to UCS of 10 MPa after 28 days under the conditions (curing temperature; 30 degrees C, injection interval; 1 day, Ca2+ concentrations in cementation solution; 0.3 M). Multiple regression analysis showed that the relevant conditions for UCS were test period, D (days), and Ca2+ concentration of the cementation solution, C-ua (M). The prediction formula for UCS, q(ud) (MPa), was experimentally determined to be q(ud) = 48.3C(ca) + 0.456D - 19.51. Overall, the results of this study will contribute to the application of a new technique for coastal sand improvement and bio-stimulation.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), The effect of pH increasing ability of plant-derived urease to induce the precipitation of calcium phosphate compounds (CPCs) as CPC-biogrout (CPC-Bio) and addition of powder materials to induce the precipitation of CPCs as CPC-chemical grout (CPC-Chem) was examined separately using unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test for applying as novel, eco-friendly ground improvement methods. Initially, Toyoura sand test pieces were cemented only from CPC solutions made from stock solutions of calcium acetate and di-potassium phosphate. Subsequent sand test pieces were cemented by different concentrations of urea and CPC solution, and concentration fixed watermelon seeds extract. All test pieces were cured in an airtight container at high humidity at 25°C. Furthermore, the UCS on sand test pieces cemented with same stock solutions mentioned above with different powders such as tricalcium phosphate (TCP), magnesium phosphate (MgP), calcium carbonate (CC) and magnesium carbonate (MgC) were conducted. Maximum UCS of greater than 100 kPa was obtained after 28 days of curing for both CPC-Bio and CPC-Chem and obtained UCS was higher than the UCS of test pieces made only from CPC. pH for optimal cementation was around 8.0 and the best Ca/P ratio in CPC solutions producing the highest cementation was 0.5 for CPC-Bio.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Bio-mineralization is an environment-friendly technology to improve soil engineering properties. One of common bio-mineralization processes is microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP). A series of laboratory tests was conducted to produce solidification of the specimen having an estimated unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of more than several MPa, and investigate the influence of varies factors on soil properties treated with MICP. A solidification test was conducted using a syringe (30 mL) on different particle size of Mikawa sand (mean diameter: 0.6mm) and Toyoura sand (mean diameter: 0.2mm) using local ureolytic bacteria: Parahadobactor sp. isolated in Japan. The bacteria were grown up for 72 hours to increase the optical density (OD) of 600 nm (OD600). The cementation media was added and the solidification test was conducted until 14 days. After that, needle penetration tests were conducted to obtain the estimated UCS value of the specimen. The results indicated that the estimated UCS value was exceeded 3 MPa for three Mikawa sand samples: (1) sample treated by 1.0g of bacteria re-injected bacterial solution after 7 days, (2) sample treated by 1.0g of bacteria without re-injection after 7 days, and (3) sample treated with 0.1g of bacteria with re-injection.

    SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 5, NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015年11月, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Bio-grout, a new ground improvement method, has been recently developed to improve the mechanical properties, decrease the permeability of porous materials, reinforce or repair cementitious materials and modify the properties of soil or sand. Bio-grout production depends on microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP), which is driven mainly by an enzyme, urease. However, urease-based MICP process produces excessive ammonia, in addition to secondary pollution generated by urea that is used as substrate in it. In the present study, we reported asparaginase-based MICP process for sand bio-grout development using Bacillus megaterium, and results were also compared with urease-based bio-grouts. The asparaginase activity led to significantly less ammonia production compared to urease without compromising with desired properties of a novel grout. The UCS of bio-grout was obtained at 980 kPa, while the permeability was decreased substantially. The mineralogical composition of precipitated substance was identified as calcite using XRD and the crystal morphology was observed under SEM. The mass percentage of calcite in bio-grout was calculated by thermogravimetric analysis and XCT verified calcite precipitation in it. The results confirmed that biocalcification by means of bacterial asparaginase is a potential solution for geotechnical problems. The asparaginase-based MICP process could be of wider acceptance in future.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Artificial beachrock, formed by coral sand solidification through microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), could provide coastal protection instead of concrete structures, and would be eco-friendly as well as help minimize costs. The present study was conducted to solidify coral sand through the MICP method by using an ureolytic bacterium (Parahodobacter sp.) isolated from peripheral beachrock. The goal was to obtain a sample with an unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of 20 MPa or more. We also aimed to examine the growth characteristics of this bacterium in the culture medium ZoBell2216E, which is commonly used for marine bacteria. In order to determine the suitability of the MICP test, growth properties of the microbial strain were observed under various culture conditions. A sand solidification test with MICP was carried out in a syringe as well as a PET cylinder. The strength of the resulting specimens was measured with the needle penetration test. The specimen solidified up to 20 MPa of the estimated UCS after 21 days of curing. For optimum growth of the bacterium, 1.0 g of the culture was added to 100 mL culture media and incubated with shaking at 160 rpm. The preferred final concentration in solidification promoting solution of both urea and CaCl2 was 0.5 M, with bacterial cell densities of 10(9) CFU/mL. In order to efficiently induce solidification, the optimum pH was 7.0 or higher, and Ca2+ concentration was maintained at 1.0 g/L. The results were enhanced by re-injecting the culture solution when the pH and Ca2+ concentrations in the specimen were not in the ideal ranges indicated above.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The investigation of urease containing plant species and the calcium phosphate compounds (CPCs) precipitation along with plant derived urease were performed at laboratory scale. At first, small scale laboratory samples (height, h = 10 cm & inner diameter, phi = 5 cm) were made using Toyoura sand and only from CPC solution having different Ca/P ratios to use as control samples. Afterward, another Toyoura sand test pieces were made by mixing watermelon seed extract, urea with different concentrations and CPC solution having different Ca/P ratios to study the optimal cementation. Test pieces were cured up to 28 days in an airtight container at high humidity at 25 degrees C and carried out unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test. The UCS of the sand test pieces cemented by CPC with urease containing plant extract and urea were larger than that of the test pieces without plant extract. Furthermore, the best CPC solution mixture for highest cementation was with the concentration of Ca/P ratio of 0.5. In addition, pH content was measured after UCS test. Maintaining pH around 8 in the specimen at 28 days was significant to get optimal cementation.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), The use of an artificial rock modelled on beachrock is considered a novel eco-friendly countermeasure to preserve coastlines. Beachrock consists of coastal sediments from within the intertidal zone that have been cemented mainly by CaCO3. In this study, a solidification test was conducted on coral sand using local ureolytic bacteria based on a beachrock formation mechanism previously investigated at Okinawa, Japan. The experiment aimed to produce solidification of the specimen to an Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) of more than several MPa (1/10-1/5 of the UCS value of ordinal concrete and beachrock). Results showed that using Pararhodobacter sp., found near beachrock in Okinawa, Japan, the specimen solidified to 6.7 MPa UCS after 28 days of curing. The solidification mechanism was the stimulation of ureolysis by the bacteria and the precipitation of aragonite between sand particles.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Erosion in the coastal area of Bangladesh is a big point of concern. The present study was conducted to find out the protective measure from coastal erosion in Bangladesh as well as evaluate the prospects of the formation of artificial beachrock. This study was conducted based on literature survey of related works. In the coast of Bangladesh, average recession through erosion will occur 0.87m due to per 1cm sea level rise. Beachrock as well as artificial beachrocks have the potentiality to prevent such coastal erosion. Beachrock is a type of sedimentary deposit that generally occurs on the tropical and subtropical beaches as a result of intertidal lithification of loose beach sands and gravels by carbonate cementation. Beachrock in the world differs by their chemical composition but it composed mainly of CaCO3, SiO2 and Al2O3. Usually, beachrocks are formed by the cementation of CaCO3 precipitation with the influence of seawater and/or seawater evaporation as well as surface microorganisms. From the knowledge of natural beachrock formation as well as sand properties, in the future, it may possible to manufacture artificial beachrocks similar to beachrocks for erosion control purposes in Bangladesh.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Grouting using calcium phosphate compound (CPC) has been used for countermeasure for liquefaction in geotechnical engineering applications and it is an economical and environmental friendly technique that develops to form calcium carbonate precipitation throughout the soil, leading to an increase in soil strength. In the paper, our aim was to improve strength by adding CPC with CaCO3 (commercially found) and scallop shell (Naturally found) powder and exceed a maximum UCS of 100 kPa after 28 days of curing, which is the strength required as a countermeasure against soil liquefaction during earthquake. For that, initially Toyoura sand test pieces were cemented by CPC solutions only and cured up to 56 days and carried out unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test. Moreover, Toyoura sand test pieces were cemented by CPCs with CaCO3 (CC) powder and CPCs with scallop shell powder and cured and these specimens also analyzed with UCS tests. The UCS of the sand test pieces cemented by CPC with scallop shell powder and CC powder was higher than that of the test pieces with no added powders. In addition, a series of laboratory experiments were conducted, including pH concentration, scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to observe the microscopic structure, density before and after curing etc. The results indicate that the density and the pH concentration of the sand test pieces cemented by CPC with scallop shell powder and CC powder were higher than that of the test pieces with no added powders.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Electrical disintegration is an effective liberation technique in mineral processing where the liberation ratio depends on the mineralogical properties of the mineral grains. However elucidation of the liberation behavior is difficult since the fragments after the electrical disintegration are fine and complex. This study applies electrical disintegration to cement paste samples with various dispersed mineral particles (calcite, quartz, albite, and pyrite) and the disintegrated products are observed with a micro-focus X-ray CT scanner. Current channels and crack extension behavior from the channels are identified by cross sectional CT and three dimensional reconstructed images. A classification of the crack patterns was carried out and compared with the results of liberation ratio measurements of the products. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Beachrock is a type of sedimentary deposit held together mainly by calcium carbonate cement in the tidal zone of sandy beaches in tropical and subtropical regions. Man-made beachrock has the potential to inhibit coastal erosion; considering this important application, we performed field investigations and laboratory tests to understand the formation mechanisms of beachrocks in Okinawa and Ishikawa, Japan. We performed a needle penetration test, microbial population count and urease activity test, and conducted elemental and mineral analyses. Our investigation showed that in Okinawa the evaporation of seawater and/or urease activity of the microorganisms may have resulted in precipitation of high Mg calcite, leading to the formation of beachrock. In Ishikawa, beachrock and sand were present near a spring with a relatively high concentration of Al3+. The mixing of spring water (pH 4.7) with seawater could have led to the precipitation of the Al- and Si-bearing cement that is consolidating the sand particles, leading to development of beachrock.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This paper describes the knowledge obtained from a study of geophysical prospecting for beachrock. Previous studies on beachrock worldwide have been focused on the geochemistry. However, more knowledge of the chemical and physical properties is needed to elucidate the formation mechanism. In the present study, a direct current (DC) electrical survey and a surface seismic survey were conducted to detect the underground structure of the beachrock on Yagaji Island, Okinawa, Japan. This was a first attempt at conducting multiple geophysical surveys to investigate beachrock. In each survey, one survey line was set perpendicular to the seashore and two survey lines were set roughly parallel to the seashore. The results of each survey were observed in section of resistivity and seismic wave velocity. Furthermore, in order to estimate the effectiveness of the surveys, laboratory tests were conducted on the beachrock samples collected from the study site to measure the porosity, the resistivity, and the velocities of primary- (P-) waves and secondary- (S-) waves. There was a superior correlation between the sections and with the data on the study site. Hence, the features of the beachrock at the site are as follows: the resistivity is about 4-16 Omega m, the S-wave velocity is about 325 m/s, the thickness is about 1 m, and the thickness has a tendency to become greater toward the sea. One beachrock formation mechanism obtained by this study is close a currently accepted mechanism.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Beachrocks are calcareous rocks that have been quite recently formed and are found in the intertidal zone on sandy beaches. The authors are developing an artificial rock with self-healing capabilities that can be used in coastal areas to repair the infrastructure of coastal walls. Because beachrocks are formed naturally on beaches, they merit study as a model for artificial rocks. We conducted a bibliographical study in order to gather information about the characteristics of beachrocks, which may aid in the manufacturing of artificial rocks. This study investigated their geographic distribution, formative periods, physical properties, and origins. The study found that over 90 % of beachrocks are found between the latitudes 40°N and the Tropic of Capricorn, and that their formative periods range from 26,000 years to just a few decades ago. We also learned that the cement component of beachrocks mainly consists of either calcium carbonate or silica. The dynamic characteristics of these components have been studied in only three papers, which note that their uniaxial compression strength ranges from as low as 6.0 to 42.0 MPa. Since very limited data are available on beachrocks in Japan where the artificial rock technology will first be deployed, there is a need for collecting additional data on their mechanical properties, elemental composition ratios, and mineral content. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Beachrock is a type of sedimentary deposit held together mainly by calcium carbonate cement in the tidal zone of sandy beaches in tropical and subtropical regions. Man-made beachrock has the potential to inhibit coastal erosion
    considering this important application, we performed field investigations and laboratory tests to understand the formation mechanisms of beachrocks in Okinawa and Ishikawa, Japan.We performed a needle penetration test, microbial population count and urease activity test, and conducted elemental and mineral analyses. Our investigation showed that in Okinawa the evaporation of seawater and/or urease activity of the microorganisms may have resulted in precipitation of high Mg calcite, leading to the formation of beachrock. In Ishikawa, beachrock and sand were present near a spring with a relatively high concentration of Al3+. The mixing of spring water (pH 4.7) with seawater could have led to the precipitation of the Al- and Si-bearing cement that is consolidating the sand particles, leading to development of beachrock. © 2014 The Japan Institute of Metals and Materials.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), To improve the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of a novel chemical grout composed of a calcium phosphate compound (CPC-Chem), we performed UCS tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations on sand test pieces cemented with CPC-Chem and four kinds of powders (tricalcium phosphate, TCP; magnesium phosphate. MgP, calcium carbonate, CC and magnesium carbonate. MgC) as seed crystals. The UCS of the CPC-Chem test pieces cemented with TCP and CC was significantly greater than that of the test pieces with no added powders. The UCS of the test pieces with TCP and CC additives exceeded the targeted value of 100 kPa and increased to a maximum of 261.4 kPa and 209.7 kPa for the test pieces with TCP and CC additives, respectively. Furthermore, the UCS of test pieces with 1 wt% or 5 wt% TCP and 1 wt% CC additives was maintained at a level exceeding 200 kPa for 168 days. SEM observations revealed net-like and three-dimensional structures in segments of test pieces cemented with 1 wt% or 5 wt % TCP and 1 wt% CC in CPC-Chem, which could have been the reason of the long-term stability of UCS (over 200 kPa for 168 days) observed in this study. These results suggest that the addition of TCP and CC significantly enhances the ground improvement afforded by CPC-Chem. (C) 2013 The Japanese Geotechnical Society.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), For the purpose of improving a novel grout composed of a calcium phosphate compound (CPC-Chem), we have conducted an unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test on samples cemented with CPC-Chem and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) powder. The UCS of these test samples was significantly larger than the UCS of the non-additive test samples. The UCS reached the targeted value of over 100 kPa, and after 28 days of curing, reached a maximum of 261.4 kPa. Additionally, the pH of the samples cemented with CPC-Chem and TCP powder was weakly acidic. These results suggest that the novel geotechnical method using a combination of CPC-Chem and TCP powder has the potential to be used as a non-contaminating and recyclable application, as a biogrout that uses microbial activity and for ground improvement because it satisfies the strength requirements for practical use.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A method to evaluate regional stress state and Young's modulus by analyzing the mining-induced deformation of ground is proposed. The effect of changes in regional strain state due to tectonic plate motion can be accounted for using the proposed method. Mining-induced deformation can manifest itself as changes in ground surface geometry resulting from mining activity. There are three underlying factors that can contribute to the deformation, these being: displacement induced by the effect of gravity; displacement induced by the effect of horizontal regional strain; and, incremental change in the horizontal regional strain. Both regional strain and Young's modulus can be simultaneously estimated, because the displacement induced by the regional strain is independent of the Young's modulus and the displacement induced by the gravity is inversely proportional to the Young's modulus. The relative displacement arising from the mining excavation at the Torigatayama limestone mine in Japan has been measured by GPS. Both the regional stress state and Young's modulus were estimated by back analysis of the relative displacement using a 3-D finite element method. It was shown that back analysis based on changes in distance between the measurement points provides a more reliable estimation than that could be achieved based on the direct relative displacement.

On the other hand, in Ishikawa, beachrocks and sand were present near a spring. Here, the pH value of the spring was in the range 4.7 and it has a higher concentration of Al3+. The mixing of spring water with seawater could have led to the precipitation of the cement containing Al and Si between sand particles and, thus resulting in the formation of the beachrock. Therefore, we have interpreted the formation mechanisms of beachrocks.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The physical properties of two-phase materials depend on their internal structure. Therefore, segmentation of the structure of such materials is important in material sciences. In this study, we used a maximum likelihood thresholding method that considered the partial volume effect -i.e., the effect of mixels (mixed pixels)- to calculate the porosities of packed glass beads and the Berea sandstone using microfocus X-ray computed tomography (CT) images. We also examined the effects of scanning conditions on the segmentation results and assessed the porosity of possible packing structures of the glass beads to be segmented to be 33-37% based on histogram data. Moreover, we evaluated the porosity of the Berea sandstone to be 18%.
    Then, we examined variation in the porosity of biogrouted packing of glass beads using a microfocus X-ray CT scanner and histogram-based image analysis with the same thresholding method. Our results indicated that the ratio of grouted to ungrouted geomaterial porosities was 0.98, whereas the value estimated by measuring changes in the concentration of calcium ions was 0.98-0.99. Thus, we have confirmed that the proposed method can evaluate small changes in porosity with high accuracy.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), We added calcium carbonate (CC) powder to a novel grout made from calcium phosphate compound (CPC-chem) to increase the ground strength improvement afforded by CPC-chem. We conducted the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation on test pieces cemented with CPC-chem and CC powder. The UCS of test pieces cemented with CPC-chem and CC powder was significantly higher than that of test pieces cemented without CC powder, and it reached a maximum of 209.7 kPa. The UCS of test pieces cemented with CC powder and deionized water was 12.5 kPa, which was similar to that of test pieces cemented with deionized water only (10 kPa). SEM observation revealed mesh-like and three-dimensional structures in the segment of the test piece cemented with CPC-chem and 1 wt% of CC, which showed UCS of over 200 kPa and the minimum axial strain rate among all cases in this study. These results suggest that the addition of CC powder significantly enhances the ground improvement afforded by CPC-chem. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), To evaluate the potential utility of a new calcium-phosphate-compound (CPC)-based biogrout (CPC biogrout), we conducted unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations of sand test pieces cemented with CPC biogrout. The CPC biogrout was produced using (1) soil extracts that contained microorganisms derived from one of two soils, which had different pH values, and (2) one of three amino acids or urea as a pH-increasing reactant. A temporal increase in pH was observed in slightly acidic soil by the addition of ammonia sources. On the other hand, there was no significant increase in pH in slightly alkaline soil except for that due to urea. In most cases, the UCS of the test pieces cemented with CPC biogrout produced using soil extracts from acidic soil along with an ammonia source was higher than that of the test pieces cemented with CPC biogrout produced without the addition of ammonia sources. SEM observation of test pieces with UCS of over 50 kPa showed the presence of whisker-like CPC crystals. These results suggest that CPC biogrout affords sufficient strength as a countermeasure for soil liquefaction and that amino acids can be used as new pH-increasing reactants for CPC biogrout In addition, they suggest that either CPC biogrout or CPC chemical grout alone, or a combination of the two grouts, can be used depending on the various properties of grounds and soils.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Biogrouting is a new method to stabilize sandy soils through precipitation of CaCO3 between grains. This process decreases the permeability about 98% and increases the soil strength up to 12Mpa. It is created by bacterium Bacillus Pasteurii and enzyme urease that hydrolyze urea to carbonic dioxide and ammonia. A major problem in biogrouting is the distribution of bacteria injected into the soils. The bacteria grows more in at 30-37 degrees C and pH 9.2, but cannot be distributed homogeneously in soil through biogrouting technique. It depends on the grain size, mineralogy, and properties of the pore fluid. The electrokinetic (EK) technique transports charged particles and fluid in porous media. This technology moves a wide range of particles, including ions, metals and organics. The Bacillus bacteria are rod-shaped bacterium with many negative charges in the surface. The electrokinetic can probably transport bacteria towards the cathode in an experimental cell and can distribute them uniformly in porous media of soils for fertile biogrouting. It explains a wide range of diffusion of bacteria influenced electric current. However, basic environment electrokinentic phenomena can probably affect bacterial membrane composition and metabolic activity, but it also justifies an increase of soil pH and can provide a positive effect on microbial activity and bacterial community of Bacillus Pasteurii. Furthermore distribution of the urease enzyme could be possible in electrokinetic environment since the urease enzyme has a negative charge at pH of more than 5.5. The urease enzyme is a negatively charged at a pH more than 5.5 which is able to move and diffuse in electrical environment.

    ENGINEERING GEOLOGY, 125, 119, 128, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2012年01月, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Calcium phosphate compounds (CPCs) have unique physicochemical properties. As grout material, they afford many advantages such as adequate physical strength, self-setting property, pH dependence of precipitation, non-toxicity, and recyclability. To apply CPCs to the permeability control and reinforcement of ground soil and rock, we explored suitable conditions for in vitro CPC precipitation, conducted unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests of Toyoura sand test pieces cemented by CPC, and carried out observations and elemental analysis of precipitated CPC crystals. Two kinds of phosphate stock solution and two kinds of calcium stock solution were used to prepare the reaction mixtures, and CPC precipitation was detected in all reaction mixtures. The volume of CPC precipitation in the reaction mixture increased as the pH rose from strongly acidic to around neutral. The UCS of Toyoura sand test pieces cemented by 1.5 M diammonium phosphate and 0.75 M calcium acetate tended to increase with time, reaching a maximum of 63.5 kPa after 14 days of curing. Conversely, the UCS of test pieces cemented by using calcium nitrate was below 20 kPa and showed no significant increase in strength. CPC precipitation with calcium nitrate induced the formation of plate-like crystals, whereas that with calcium acetate induced whisker-like crystals. Elemental analysis of the cemented test pieces showed that the distributions of phosphorus and calcium were similar. The results indicate the practical feasibility of using novel CPC grouts as chemical grouts because of their self-setting property, and as biogrouts because of their crystal structure and pH dependence of precipitation.

Sand test pieces cemented with a reaction mixture containing 1.5M diammonium phosphate and 0.75M calcium acetate showed a tendency for the UCS to increase with time, reaching a maximum of 87.6 kPa. CPC precipitation via calcium nitrate treatment induced the formation of platelike crystals, whereas that via calcium acetate treatment induced whisker-like crystals.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Beachrock is a coastal deposit with calcium carbonate and/or silica cement in the tidal zone of sandy beaches. Considering the application of man-made beachrock to preserve submerged-looking islands, we performed a literature survey and a field investigation to understand essential beachrock characteristics. We found that 90% of beachrocks worldwide were distributed within latitude of approximately 40 degrees north of the southern circle. It was also found that beachrock formed from several decades ago to around 7350 years ago. Furthermore, the main elements in beachrock worldwide differed. The beachrock in Okinawa, Japan mainly consisted of Ca and C. The unconfined compression strength, q(u), was from 5.63 to 57.80MPa. The relation between qu and formative age, t, was q(u) = 0.0141t. From these results, we obtained a wealth of data to build man-made beachrock.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), A method to evaluate regional stress state and Young's modulus by analyzing mining induced deformation of ground is proposed. Mining induced deformation is interpreted as the deformation due to the geometrical change of ground surface caused by mine activity and it is classified into two types, i.e., the displacement increment induced by the gravity and that by the horizontal regional strain. It is pointed out that both regional strain and Young's modulus can be estimated by analyzing the mining induced deformation, because the displacement induced by the regional strain is independent of the Young's modulus and the displacement induced by the gravity is in inversely proportional to the Young's modulus. The relative displacement arising from mine excavation in Torigatayama limestone mine, Japan have been measured by GPS. Both the stress state and Young's modulus of the regional field including the limestone mine were estimated by back-analysis using three dimensional finite element method. It is shown that the maximum principal direction of the regional stress is almost NE-SW and Young's modulus of the ground is between 3 and 6 GPa.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), This study considers a method for evaluation of porosity of biogrouted geomaterials. First, we visualized the internal structures of the specimens by using micro-focused X-ray CT scanner. We tested Souma sand, gum tips, plastic pellets, steel balls and glass beads as geomaterial to find suitable geomaterials for evaluation of porosity: geomaterials whose CT-number histogram was bimodal. The results clarified that one of the geomaterials, glass beads whose particle size was 0.50-0.71mm, was suitable for evaluation of porosity. Second, we calculated the porosity of the glass beads by using a method for evaluation of porosity based on a maximum likelihood thresholding method considering the effect of mixels. The result showed that the ratio of the porosity of grouted geomaterial to that of ungrouted geomaterial was 0.98 to 0.99. On the other hand, the value estimated by the measurement of changes in concentration of calcium ion was 0.98. Thus, both values closely agreed. Therefore, this study clarifies that the method enables us to evaluate small change in porosity with great accuracy.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), 農業用ため池に堆積する土砂(以後,「底泥」とする)は水質改善や貯水効率維持のために浚渫されるが,高含水比であるのでそのまま運搬することができず,処理も難しい.本研究では,環境に配慮して底泥を処理し再利用する手段を新たに開発するため,シリカコロイド溶液と微生物代謝を利用したバイオ固化処理の可能性を確認することを目的として,ため池底泥を対象に室内試験を実施した.具体的には,底泥を対象土とし,シリカグラウト溶液,イースト菌,グルコースを用いた固化材(以後,「バイオ固化材」と称する)の配合比の検討を行い,シリカグラウト溶液5ml,イースト菌1.25g,グルコース0.3gのバイオ固化処理により処理可能な底泥量が5gであることを把握した後,底泥中の微生物や有機栄養源がバイオ固化処理に利用できることを確認した.次に,液性限界・塑性限界試験を行い,バイオ固化処理により塑性指数が低下することを明らかにした.さらに,フォールコーン試験を行い,バイオ固化処理の前後における貫入量を比較することで,同一の含水比状態ではバイオ固化処理により底泥が硬化することが明らかとなった.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A method to evaluate the regional stresses and the Young's modulus by analyzing mining induced deformation of the ground is proposed.
    Mining induced deformation is interpreted as the deformation due to the geometrical change of the ground surface caused by mine activity and it is classified in two types, i.e., the displacement increment induced by gravity and that by the horizontal regional strain. It is pointed out that both the regional strain and Young's modulus can be estimated by analyzing the mining induced deformation, because the displacement induced by the regional strain is independent of the Young's modulus and the displacement induced by the gravity is inversely proportional to the Young's modulus.
    The relative displacement due to mine excavation in Torigatayama mine were measured by GPS (Global Positioning System) and the regional stress state and Young's modulus were estimated by a back-analysis using three dimensional finite element method. It is shown that the maximum principal direction of regional stresses is almost NE-SW and Young's modulus of the ground is 3 to 6GPa in the present field.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), A method for estimating the global stress field from the local stress field evaluated by the field initial stress measurement is discussed. As for numerical analysis of rock stress measurement, few research examples quantitatively evaluate inhomogeneity of the three dimensional initial stress fields in rock masses. In order to grasp the effect of inhomogeneity of rock masses, a homogeneous rock model and an inhomogeneous rock model including different strata were made and the global stress fields were estimated. Furthermore, the method of back analysis of global strains was investigated by using plural stress measuring points in the region specified. As a result of these analyses, it was found that analyses of stress states in deep rock masses required consideration of structures and mechanical properties of each stratum.

    FIELD MEASUREMENTS IN GEOMECHANICS, 513, 518, A A BALKEMA PUBLISHERS, 2003年
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Using an earthmover as a loading source, an estimation method of elastic constants of rock masses is discussed. For regional rock masses, it is obvious that suitable large loads are required for field measurements of rock mass deformation. The present in-situ loading tests have, however, the limits of improving and scaling up of machinery and tools because of mechanical structure and/or economy of loading apparatus. It is, therefore, necessary to develop another different methodology from usual. Provided that an earthmover; which is generally used in a quarry, can be used as the weight of loading, loading tests of rock masses can be carried out without special and additional loading equipment. In anticipation of very small,deformation of the regional rock masses, deformation measurements with high accuracy are demanded. Consequently, the authors tried to solve this problem, by using a high-resolution tilt meter.

    ROCK MECHANICS: A CHALLENGE FOR SOCIETY, 103, 108, A A BALKEMA PUBLISHERS, 2001年
    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), The Equotip hardness tester is one of the useful testers developed so as to understand elastic properties and strengths of metallic materials. It is picked up as the characteristics of the rester that a small sample is needed for the test, sampling time is short, and the tester is convenient for portable use. In case of applying the rester to an actual structure constructed in or on rock mass and a stone cultural heritage whose shape is complex, it is therefore expected that the tester is able to measure rapidly toward all test directions in the field. For the purpose of newly developing an evaluation method for rock materials using the tester, this paper reports on especially two objects such as 1) investigations on the effects of test conditions (i.e. considerations on the size, shape and roughness of rock samples), and 2) investigations on fundamental properties of unweathered rock samples (i.e. considerations on the relationships to physical and mechanical properties).

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), 地下構造物を大深度礫岩に建設する際には, 礫の影響によりコアの強度および剛性が原位置岩盤よりも過大に評価されたり, 逆に, サンプリングによる乱れの影響によって, 原位置岩盤よりも過小に評価されることが想定される. そこで, 深度600mのボーリングコアを用いた大深度礫岩の室内試験を実施し, 礫岩コアの品質評価を行った. その結果, 礫岩コアの品質に影響を与えるサンプリングによる乱れには, 礫分含有率と方解石含有率の2つが複雑に関与しており, 特に, 方解石含有率が小さく礫分含有率が小さいほど, 礫岩コアがサンプリングによる乱れの影響を受けやすいことがわかった.

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), To conduct a quality evaluation of conglomerate core samples, a series of laboratory rock tests using conglomerate core samples obtained from the depth of 600m and artificial conglomerate core samples was carried out. This paper shows that the sample disturbance by core sampling which gives influences to the quality of conglomerate core samples is complicatedly concerned with gravel faction content and calcite content. Especially the smaller the calcite content is, and moreover, the smaller the gravel fraction content is, the more extensively the sample disturbance by core sampling is influenced.

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), 岩石においても有効応力の原理が適用できるとの立場から, 土質材料と同様に圧密現象を計測することによって難透水性材料である岩石の透水係数の推定を試みた.対象とした岩石は, 堆積岩である軟質泥岩と硬質礫岩である.その結果, 三軸試験装置を用いた等方圧密試験により得られた透水係数と注水試験による透水係数を比較して, 両者に良好な対応関係が見られた.本透水係数推定法の特徴は, 通常実施されている圧密過程を伴う三軸試験と透水試験の2つの試験が, 三軸試験の1つだけで実施できる点にあり, 有効な簡易透水係数推定法の1つと考えられる.

    脆弱化した岩石の自己組織的な新しい修復技術の構築に向けて,フィールド調査,室内実験,X線画像解析,シミュレーションの観点からの研究を進めており,2021年度の活動は以下のようにまとめることができる。
    (1)上期に沖縄本島・離島および北海道にて事前の露頭調査を実施し,詳細調査の対象とする砂岩および凝灰岩露頭を選定した。そして,夏期および冬期には,沖縄本島・離島で選定した露頭の詳細調査を実施し,環境因子(気温,湿度,光量子密度),マクロ強度,鉱物組成(XRD),分子質量数(MS,ICP発光分析),微細構造(SEM),岩内微生物の菌叢構造(NGS)を得た。
    (2)セルロース繊維材としてバイオ炭(炭化木材,炭化バガス)を選定し,地盤固化を可能とするSporosarcina pasteuriiの活性化実験を実施した。結果として,改良の余地は多く残されているものの,活性化できる可能性を見出した。また,微弱電流の添加については,通電のみでも脆弱化した岩石を修復できる可能性を見出した。微生物なしの予備実験を実施したところ,多孔質岩の空隙部に炭酸塩が析出し,岩石の強度を高めることが明らかとなった。
    (3)硅砂5号をSporosarcina pasteuriiおよび沖縄県内から採取した尿素分解菌を使って固化させた供試体を製作しした。そして,ナノX線CTスキャナーで撮影することにより,砂粒子と炭酸カルシウムの3次元構造を個別に得ることに成功した。
    (4)MICP(microbially induced carbonate precipitation)のプロセスにおいて,微生物代謝および挙動,炭酸塩の析出,土粒子・間隙水の電場を考慮したマルチフィジックス・マルチスケール解析法を構築した。シミュレーションにて得られた炭酸塩の析出パターンは実験値に酷似し,析出量も実験と同等の値となることを確認した。

    本年度は,①尿素分解菌に関する検討,②培養試験および強度発現メカニズムに関する検討,③小型円筒容器を用いた室内固化試験,④斜面模型を用いた室内固化試験,の4項目に関する研究を実施した。得られた主な成果の概要は,次のとおりである。
    ①尿素分解菌に関する検討:国内の各地から採取した地盤材料を用いた物理試験と化学試験を行うと同時に,地盤材料中に生息する尿素分解菌の分離・単離試験を実施した。また,単離した尿素分解菌のウレアーゼ活性に関する温度依存性,pH依存性について調査を行った。その結果,北海道の地盤材料より単離され,ウレアーゼ活性の至適温度が20~25℃付近にあり,その値が10日間持続するLysinibacillus xylanilyticusが最も有望な菌株であることがわかった。
    ②培養試験および強度発現メカニズムに関する検討:培養試験により,Lysinibacillus xylanilyticusの最適な培養条件を明らかにした。また,培養および固化に必要な材料として,高価な試薬の使用以外に安価な代替品の適用性について検討を実施した結果,代替品の適用が可能であることが示唆された。
    ③小型円筒容器を用いた室内固化試験:Lysinibacillus xylanilyticusを用いて,炭酸カルシウムの析出条件を変化させた地盤材料の室内固化試験を実施した。また,固化した地盤材料の一軸圧縮強さ(UCS)を針貫入試験で推定したところ,数MPa程度を1カ月程度で達成した。
    ④斜面模型を用いた室内固化試験:切土法面を想定した斜面模型による室内固化試験を実施し,固化した斜面表層部の炭酸カルシウム含有量や針貫入試験による推定UCSの分布特性を調査した。

    本研究の目的は,海岸域の自然材料(微生物,海水,海砂,貝殻片など)を用いてCaCO3の析出により固化した人工ビーチロックを作製し,港湾岸壁のコンクリートの一軸圧縮強さ20~30 MPa程度を1カ月程度で達成する基本技術を新たに開発し,その有効性を確認することである。
    国内の海岸域においてウレアーゼ活性が高い尿素分解菌を探索した結果,沖縄県や北海道などの土質試料よりCaCO3析出に適した菌株が発見された。また,砂供試体の室内加速固化試験を実施した結果,試験開始から3週間後に針貫入試験による推定一軸圧縮強さ約20 MPaが得られた。結論として,新たに開発された技術の有効性が確認された。

    ヒ素を溶出する岩盤掘削ずりに対して、ずり層、覆土層、吸着層の3層からなる室内カラム試験において、水分量変化、酸素濃度変化の測定およびヒ素の溶出・移行挙動を測定した。その結果、水分流動、酸素濃度、ヒ素の溶出挙動との関係を明らかにし、Hydrous1-Dを適用し、一連の現象を評価できるモデルに改良した。その中で、ヒ素溶出は水分量や酸素濃度と関連し、その移行には可逆的な吸着と不可逆的な吸着が存在することを明らかにした。原位置カラム試験でも同様な結果が得られた。実験で得られたパラメータを用いて、種々の条件でのヒ素の溶出・移行現象を評価できるモデルに改良し、吸着層等の設計に反映できるモデルを構築した。

    自然由来の重金属類を含有する泥質岩からのヒ素,セレン,ホウ素の溶出は,易溶解性の塩類として存在する比較的早期に溶出する成分と黄鉄鉱の酸化反応にともない遅く溶出する成分の2つの成分が関与した。この2成分の存在を考慮することによって試験結果をうまく説明できた。溶出した重金属類を人工吸着材や天然吸着材を使用して吸着試験を実施した結果,溶液のpHの変化がなければ,天然吸着材も有効に作用することを示した。

  • フラクタル破壊力学に基づく破壊設計法の構築

    金子 勝比古, 平田 篤夫, 高橋 弘, 川崎 了, 五十嵐 敏文, 加藤 昌治
    本研究では,フラクタル破壊力学に基づいて,岩石破壊設計における基礎的課題を解明するとともに,高度制御石壊のための新たな破壊設計法を構築しようと試みた。本研究で得られた成果をまとめると以下のようである。
    1.対象スケールよりも小さな微視亀裂群を有する材料では,微視的強度が最小値の確率分布で表現できること,さらに,微視亀裂進展はプロセスゾーンとしてモデル化され,微視スケールの影響はそれの等価剛性(軟化曲線)で表現されること,を示すとともに,このフラクタル破壊力学の考えを導入した破壊プロセス解析手法を開発した。そして,岩石破壊問題にこれを適用し,岩石破壊の加圧速度依存性,動的引張強度試験による不均一性および破エネルギーの評価法などを明らかにした。また,フラクタル破壊力学に基づく破壊設計として,一自由面発破における粒度分布の予測・制御法を構築した。
    2.亀裂進展速度の温度・湿度依存性を検証するとともに,これらの実験結果を分析し,亀裂先端の応力腐食反応の活性化エネルギーを同定した。そして,活性化エネルギーの値が岩石微視構造に依存することを見出すとζもに,亀裂形状のフラクタル次元と活性化エネルギーとの関係を明らかにした。さらに,応力腐食亀裂進展の考えのもとに,これらの関係を理論モデル化し,環境や微視組織の影響を考慮した亀裂進展速度の予測式を提案した。
    3.岩石等の不透明材料についてその内部の微視構造を3次元的に可視化計測するためにマイクロフォーカスX線CT装置を導入した。そして,マイクロフォーカスX線CTによる3次元可視化計測により,動的引張試験におけるマルチクラック進展を検証した。さらに,種々の破壊工学・地盤工学問題に適用し,高電圧電気パルス粉砕における選択的亀裂伸張現象ベントナイト混合土の間隙構造変化,繊椎補強土の圧縮破壊形態,などを明らかにした。

    発破における起砕物の粒度分布を予測・評価する方法を開発するとともに,粒度分布を制御する方法について検討を加えた。本研究で得られた成果をまとめると以下のようである。
    1)岩石の微視的強度の不均一性を考慮して,ホプキソン効果実験の破壊プロセス解析を行い,不均一性に起因した破壊プロセスから,破壊の時間効果が合理的に説明されることを明らかにした。これにより,開発した破壊プロセス解析法の有用性が確認された。
    2)一自由面破砕の破壊プロセス解析を行い,加圧速度と破壊形態の関係を明らかにするとともに動的破壊形態から準静的破壊形態への遷移条件を明らかにした。
    3)上述の破壊プロセス解析法に亀裂ネットワーク抽出と亀裂ネットワークに対しての亀裂内ガス流動解析の機能を付加した新たな結合解析法を開発した。また,開発した方法により解析された亀裂内ガス流速は実験値とほぼ一致することを示した。
    4)破壊プロセス解析法をベンチ発破に適用し,ベンチ発破における岩盤の破壊プロセスを解析するとともに,解析された破壊形態から起砕物の粒度分布を評価する方法を開発した。そして,解析された粒度分布は実測された粒度分布の傾向をよく表現すること,最小抵抗線長・孔間隔・火薬原単位などの発破設計値が粒度分布に及ぼす影響に関する経験的事実もよく説明できることを確認した。これらの結果,提案する方法により,発破設計値から粒度分布を予測することが可能となった。
    5)亀裂内平均ガス流動と応力波の相互作用を分析し,粒度分布制御のための最適起爆秒時差の存在を証明するとともにその値の理論的予測法を提案した。
