The microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) technique can effectively enhance the mechanical properties of coral sand. To investigate the small-strain dynamic characteristics of MICP-treated coral sand, resonant column tests were conducted on specimens with varying biocementation cycles Nb and effective confining pressures and the development laws of dynamic shear modulus G and damping ratio λ were comparatively analyzed. The test results reveal that: at small strains, the dynamic shear modulus G increases significantly with both Nb and . The maximum dynamic shear modulus Gmax exhibits a linear correlation with Nb and a power-law correlation with . A significant power-law relationship exists between Gmax and unconfined compressive strength (qucs). As Nb increases, the reference strain γ0 decreases gradually while the G/Gmax-γd curves shift downward, indicating enhanced nonlinearity. Both minimum and maximum damping ratios increase, with the λ-γd curve moving upward and characterized by greater energy dissipation. In contrast, increasing produces opposite trends in both G/Gmax-γd and λ-γd curves, exhibiting reduced nonlinearity and energy dissipation. Empirical relationships are established to quantify the nonlinear dynamic behavior and energy dissipation characteristics of MICP-treated coral sand. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations reveal that stiffness improvement primarily results from three mechanisms: contact cementation between sand grains, grain coating by calcite precipitates, and matrix supporting through pore filling.
