Microbial soil reinforcement technology utilizes substances generated by microorganisms to fill and cement soil particles, thereby improving the engineering performance of the soil and rock mass. Compared to traditional soil reinforcement techniques, it has advantages such as less environmental impact, greater sustainability, and relatively lower cost. Among microbial reinforcement technologies, microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is the most researched and widely applied.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for predicting soil stress and strain based on MICP includes the following steps: S1. Formula for the initial yield surface of soil based on secondary loading surface theory; S2. By adding the MICP cementation reinforcement stress expression to the initial yield surface formula, the final yield surface formula is obtained. S3. Differentiate the secondary loading surface corresponding to the final yield surface formula obtained in S2 to obtain the soil mechanics model; S4. Collect the physical and mechanical parameters of the soil to be predicted, and substitute the physical and mechanical parameters into the soil mechanics model to obtain the prediction model. S5. Input the target stress into the prediction model to obtain the predicted strain, or input the target strain into the prediction model to obtain the predicted stress.
[0024] The formula for the initial yield surface in S1 is: ; in, It is a deviatoric stress. For effective average stress, Peak stress ratio These are hardening parameters. ; in, The slope of the normal compression curve. The slope of the rebound curve. This represents the initial void ratio.
[0025] The final yield surface formula in S2 is as follows: ; in, The pre-consolidation pressure is calculated as consolidation stress under consolidated conditions and as the maximum historical stress of the formation under overconsolidated conditions. MICP is used to reinforce stress.
[0026] By combining the yield criterion of soil with the MICP cementation reinforcement stress, a model relating to stress, soil physical properties, and hardening parameters was derived.
[0027] The revised model incorporates cementation-enhancing stress, enabling it to effectively describe the change in soil yield surface caused by MICP cementation. By considering the soil's strengthening properties after cementation, the model more closely reflects real-world conditions. The final yield surface formula ensures more accurate predictions for cemented or overconsolidated soils, especially when cementation and overconsolidation work together.
[0028] The hardening parameters in S3 It is the only corresponding function for volumetric strain, fitting the shear dilatation phenomenon that occurs in the soil after reinforcement in the early stage of loading; Hardening parameters The formula is as follows: ; in, For unit plastic strain, Corrected peak stress ratio =q / p.
[0029] The corrected peak stress ratio formula is as follows: ; in, Let Vorslev's envelope slope be the slope of the overconsolidated soil. Let be the slope of the Voslev envelope of MICP cemented soil. The stress ratio is the overconsolidation ratio. The stress ratio represents the degree of bonding.
[0030] As the degree of overconsolidation increases, the failure rate gradually decreases, which can be obtained from the failure points of soil under different stress paths in the experiment. Similar to the definition of overconsolidated soil, its value decreases with increasing reinforcement, as can be determined experimentally.
[0031] when equal to 1 or and When they are equal, the influence of overconsolidation on the mechanical behavior of soil disappears, and the soil returns to a normally consolidated state, with the peak stress ratio... Regressing to the peak stress ratio based on the improved MICP constitutive model .
[0032] when equal to 1 or and When they are equal, the effect of MICP on soil mechanical behavior disappears, and the soil returns to its state before MICP cementation, with the peak stress ratio being equal. Peak stress ratio of the UH model .
[0033] By using the modified peak stress ratio formula, and combining the different characteristics of overconsolidated soil and MICP cemented soil, the stress state of soil under different conditions can be described more accurately.
[0034] By adjusting the peak stress ratio formula, the model can adapt to the characteristics of different soil types and simulate mechanical behavior under different load conditions, providing a more detailed and accurate reference for engineering design.
[0035] The formula for the stress ratio of overconsolidation ratio is as follows: ; The formula for the stress ratio of the degree of bonding is as follows: ; This is the consolidation stress.
[0036] in The formula for calculating the MICP bond reinforcement stress is as follows: , It is the cementation reinforcement stress coefficient. Calcium carbonate mass fraction This is the cementation degradation rate parameter.
[0037] The formula for calculating the cementation degradation rate parameter is as follows: ; —Unit plastic deviatoric strain, — The cementation degradation rate coefficient is a constant that defines the damage rate of the enhanced cementation mechanical behavior of calcium carbonate precipitation.
[0038] In S3, the flow rule is the associated flow rule, the plastic flow direction is the same as the yield surface normal direction, and the plastic potential function is the same as the yield surface function. After adding plastic strain and elastic strain to the yield surface formula in S2, the soil mechanics model formula is obtained by differentiating the second loading surface. The soil mechanics model formula in S3 is as follows: ; in, ; ; ; For elastic bulk modulus, Shear modulus For the body to adapt to strain, For partial strain.
[0039] The formula for calculating the bulk modulus of elasticity is as follows: ; Porosity; The formula for calculating the shear modulus is as follows: ,in The value is Poisson's ratio of the soil being tested.
[0040] In S3, the plastic potential function is as follows: ; For plastic strain, For yield surface, For stress
[0041] The plastic strain in different directions can be obtained by taking the total differential of the yield surface through the hardening parameters; the formula is as follows: ; dq is the unit deviatoric stress.
[0042] Unit elastic strain includes unit elastic body strain and unit elastic deviatoric strain, and the specific formulas are as follows: ; ; unit elastic strain For unit elastic deviatoric strain, For the initial porosity, For Poisson's ratio, For the slope of the rebound curve, It is a deviatoric stress. This represents the effective average stress.
[0043] By introducing overconsolidation ratio and cementation stress ratio, the model can handle more real-world soil conditions, especially those affected by varying degrees of overconsolidation and cementation enhancement. This is crucial for predicting the mechanical behavior of soils after soil improvement and reinforcement, enabling it to handle not only conventional soil behavior but also provide more accurate mechanical responses after soils have undergone different treatments (such as cementation and consolidation).
[0044] By modifying the peak stress ratio, introducing MIP cementation reinforcement stress, and considering overconsolidation, we can not only accurately simulate the soil behavior under a single factor, but also simulate the comprehensive mechanical properties when both factors work together.
[0045] By introducing the yield surface degradation equation into the model and improving the physical parameters of the soil according to the characteristics of MICP cementation, the mechanical behavior of overconsolidated saturated soil under MICP action can be better described.
[0046] The physical and mechanical parameters of the soil to be predicted collected in S4 include the following: Based on the type of soil to be predicted, it can be divided into the following categories: 1. Physical and mechanical parameters to be collected for untreated normally consolidated saturated soil and MIP normally consolidated saturated soil consolidated with drainage: , , , , , , , For the initial consolidation pressure ; 2.
