With the development of the sustainable cement industry, the self-healing properties of
concrete have received widespread attention. In many studies, both microorganisms and …

This paper reported the development of a novel functionally graded reactive magnesia
cement-based bacteria spores (RMC-B) capsule for self-healing concrete. The capsule had …

Cracking is a common disease of concrete structures, and the use of microbially induced
calcite precipitation (MICP) to repair cracks is a current research focus. The method of …

The increasing awareness of climate change and global warming has pushed industries to
be more conscious of their environmental impact, especially in the construction industry with …

For more than two decades, with steadily increasing intensity, the focus of scientific
research, mainly on the laboratory scale but also in the field conditions, has been the …

Healing of micro cracks in concrete using calcite precipitating microorganisms has become
an interesting research for the past two decades. In this study, an attempt was made to …
