Thermal conductivity of dried biocemented sand at higher calcification

It seems that there is an optimal calcification content among higher cementation levels that would be sufficient for creating more efficient bonds in the soil matrix, which rapidly elevates the TC. Neither the conventional soil models nor the theoretical or empirical equations from the literature can accurately predict the results of the dry state thermal conductivity. Hence, more investigation on thermal conductivity in the dry state, especially on the higher cementation level impact, is needed to de-duct a good prediction for different cases of MICP-treated sands
