The increasing concern for safety and sustainability of structures is calling for the
development of smart self‐healing materials and preventive repair methods. The …

For a long time in the practice of geotechnical engineering, soil has been viewed as an inert
material, comprising only inorganic phases. However, microorganisms including bacteria …

Portland cement concrete, the most used manufactured material in the world, is a significant
contributor to anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. While strategies such as point …

Living building materials (LBMs) utilize microorganisms to produce construction materials
that exhibit mechanical and biological properties. A hydrogel-based LBM containing …

The paper reviewed the current perspectives on the development of carbon dioxide (CO2)
sequestration through its process conversion into calcite. The process occurs in either …

The present study developed a cleaner production bio-cementitious mortars (BCM) using
immobilised Bacillus sphaericus activity. In order to achieve a sustainable enhancement of …

This review provides discussion of advances in biotechnology with specific application to
civil engineering requirements for airfield and airbase operations. The broad objectives are …

The present study aimed to investigate the potential of Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis)
and Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) in improving the properties of bio-concrete. E. faecalis and …

Bacteria that are resistant to high temperatures and alkaline environments are essential for
the biological repair of damaged concrete. Alkaliphilic and halotolerant Bacillus sp. AK13 …

Environmental issues are a pressing concern for modern societies, and the increasing levels
of atmospheric CO2 have led to global warming. To mitigate climate change, reducing …
