Methodology
Objectives
To create an artificial rock, we conducted a solidification test for
coral sand using the ureolytic bacteria isolated from the sand near
the beachrock in Nago, Okinawa, Japan.
Bacteria cultivation
1. To obtain the specimen whose unconfined compressive Culture medium

strength (UCS) is more than several MPa.
2. To consider the effects of test conditions on the UCS.

• The effects of curing conditions on the UCS were as follows:
‐ Curing temperature (25‐35 °C); UCSs were larger at warmer
conditions.
‐ Sodium malate ; No addi ve→ The cement was aragonite.
