A.Short Description Of Funding Opportunity Erdc Seeks Applications For: Evaluating And Analyzing Water Erosion Measurement Of Bio-Cemented Soil Collected From Dams And Levees. B.Background: Floods Affect More People Than Any Other Natural Hazard And Pose Extreme Threats To Infrastructure And Environmentally Sensitive Areas. There Are About 90, 000 Dams In The U.S. Alone, Of Which Nearly 17% Have Been Identified As Having A High-Hazard Potential, Capable Of Resulting In The Loss Of Human Life And Significant Property Damage In The Event Of Failure. Reports Indicate That Erosion Is The Main Cause Of Dam Failures, With The Association Of State Dam Safety Officials Attributing 20% Of Dam Failures In The U.S. While The Army Monitors And Mitigates Soil Erosion Of Its Water Infrastructure Using Conventional Methods, It Faces The Challenge Of Finding Novel Solutions. Recently, Biologically Derived And/Or -Active Construction Materials And Methods, Such As Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (Micp), Have Emerged As Promising Non-Resource-Intensive Options To Enhance The Erosion Resistance Of Soils. However, Field Studies That Validate The Use Of Micp For The Mitigation Of Internal Or Surface Erosion Of Water Retaining Structures Are Required. Here, We Propose To Evaluate Micp As A Non-Resource-Intensive Solution For Enhancing The Erosion Resistance Of Soils In Earth Embankments. C.Program Description/Objective: Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (Micp) Treatment Of Soil...
