Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is increasingly being explored for Pb-
contaminated water bodies and soil remediation. However, the Pb-related precipitate …

In modern civil engineering, advanced concrete materials are expected to not only possess
excellent mechanical and durability properties but also exhibit additional functions. Waste …

Lead (Pb) accumulation can lead to serious threats to surrounding environments and
damage to the liver and kidneys. In the past few years, microbial-induced carbonate …

Concrete in complex environments is prone to cracking due to its own brittle and porous
characteristics. When environmental sulfate ions intrude into concrete, the formation of …

This comprehensive paper reviews and discusses different self-healing methods as an
emerging approach to improving the durability of concrete in the construction industry. The …

Cracking is a widespread phenomenon throughout the service of concrete structures for
marine and offshore engineering. In this paper, the effect of sulfate ions and related cations …

This paper presents a study on the self-healing performance of reinforced concrete (RC)
beams using a new approach called engineered aggregates (EA). EA are a type of capsules …

Concrete is vulnerable to cracking due to its low tensile strength and brittle nature. Cracks
contribute to accelerate the penetration of aggressive ions such as chlorides into the …

[EN] This research investigates the self-healing capability of conventional and high-
performance concrete containing either a superabsorbent polymer (SAP), a crystalline …

Self-healing technology based on microcapsules (MCs) holds great promise for preventing
material performance deterioration, extending material lifespan, and reducing maintenance …
