Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials and has a high tendency to
form cracks. These cracks lead to significant reduction in concrete service life and high …

To achieve the extended service life of the concrete material, expansive chemicals and
microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation are used, which induced autonomous …

There are various mechanisms through which bacteria precipitate calcium carbonate, out of
which a few have been recognised for application in concrete for crack healing. This paper …

Five different cell concentrations of Bacillus megaterium (10× 10 5 to 50× 10 5 cfu/ml) were
introduced in structural concrete to achieve the optimum concentration of bacteria. The …

Concrete is a widely used material in the construction industry due to its affordability and
availability; however, it is also sensitive to crack formation typically under tension stresses …

Growing amount of agricultural waste and its burning in open environments is contributing
towards the carbon emissions and triggering serious health hazards. It can be reduced by …

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 …

Concrete is a building material that withstands environmental actions for centuries.
Development of concrete technologies enables building up the lightweight, slender, and …

Mortar is known as a constituent of concrete structures. Its properties can be used as
indicators of concrete properties. Owing to the production of calcium carbonate sediments …

Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a relatively novel technology that can
improve the strength and durability of gypsum plasters. This present study seeks to explore …
