Natural processes, such as weathering, faults, land subsidence, earthquakes, and human
activities, create fractures and fissures in concrete structures that can reduce the service life …

ABSTRACT A novel technique in remediating cracks and fissures in concrete by utilizing
microbiologically induced calcite (CaCo3) precipitation is discussed. Microbiologically …

Concrete is the most widely used construction material of the world and maintaining
concrete structures from premature deterioration is proving to be a great challenge. Early …

The microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a phenomenon of managing pre and
post concrete cracks. Species like Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium and a few consortia …

This study presents the feasibility of using bacterial cells to repair of the existing cracks
within the cement mortar. Bacillus sphaericus (LMG 22257) has been used to produce …
