Crack formation in concrete is inevitable. The cracks allow the penetration of harmful
substances which may decrease the durability and the service life of concrete structures …

Soybean-urease induced carbonate precipitation (EICP), as an alternative to microbially
induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), was employed for soil improvement. Meanwhile …

Heavy metal pollution poses an immense challenge to humanity owing to its severe toxic
effects on living beings. This study investigates the bioremediation potential of the urease …

Climate change, infrastructure resilience, and resource recovery from waste have emerged
as grand challenges for civil engineers in the 21st century. Wicked problems associated with …

Evidence of bacterial involvement in precipitation of calcium carbonates has brought a
revolution in the field of applied microbiology, geotechnical sciences, environmental and …

This chapter reviews a novel, green and economical concrete based on microbially induced
calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). Microbial or bacterial concrete is product of MICP …

The incorporation of bacterial biomass to cementitious materials improves the strength and
permeability properties by altering the pore structure. Previous studies report significant …

Abstract Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitates (MICP) is a new and sustainable technology
used to improve the properties of construction materials. This technique works by …

Calcium carbonate is one of the most common minerals widespread on earth (4% by weight
of the earth's crust). Bacteria are incredibly diverse and abundant and many bacterial …

This paper introduces a microbial product, termed 'biocement', and its role in construction
engineering. Biocement, a novel metabolic by-product of microbially induced carbonate …
