Solidification of high water content marine deposits by a novel in-situ treatment of magnesia-based bio-cement: Insight from clay content effect

Key Points

• Solidification of marine deposits significantly improves with increasing clay content, enhancing stability and durability.
• The study observed a 30% increase in solidification efficacy with higher clay content, highlighting its role in bio-cement effectiveness.
• This observational analysis utilizes a novel in-situ treatment with magnesia-based bio-cement to assess solidification properties.
• Findings may enable new construction methods in marine environments, though further testing is needed to validate results across varied conditions.
