Fig. 3: Influence of electrodeposition on the bulk hydro-mechanical properties of silica sands.
From: Electrodeposition of calcareous cement from seawater in marine silica sands
a Variation in hydraulic conductivity as a function of applied voltage level for both loose and dense sands subjected to long-term electrical conditioning; b Variation in unconfined compressive strength against mass cement content for both loose and dense sand (the samples tested refer to long-term electrical conditioning tests involving the application of 3.0 and 4.0 V; the trendline refers to variations in unconfined compressive strength achieved by microbially induced calcite precipitation in a myriad of coarse-grained soils, including sands38). Error bars indicate standard deviations.
