The suitability of using a spore-forming ureolytic strain, Bacillus sphaericus, was evaluated
for self-healing of concrete cracks. The main focus was on alkaline tolerance, calcium …

The present study majorly focused on the selection of suitable bacteria through
microbiological studies for concrete crack healing. However, Bacillus species of non …

It is a well known fact that concrete structures are very susceptible to cracking which allows
chemicals and water to enter and degrade the concrete, reducing the performance of the …

Research on microbial concrete has predominantly considered spore-forming bacteria, such
as from the Bacillus species, as they can survive under unfavourable conditions of high …

At present, the commonly used repair materials for concrete cracks mainly include epoxy
systems and acrylic resins, which are all environmentally unfriendly materials, and the …

Carrier compounds besides the type of bacteria for microbial induced calcite precipitation
are equally important in self-healing concrete. This study investigates the potential utilization …

Bio-inspired self-healing of concrete cracks has been widely exploited to improve concrete
properties and thus increase concrete life span using different bacterial species in recent …

In this paper, a suitable and practical method to make bacterial concrete on a large and
bulky scale is presented. In this method, first, bacteria compatible with concrete are extracted …

The application of concrete is rapidly increasing worldwide and therefore the development
of sustainable concrete is urgently needed for environmental reasons. As presently about …

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 …
