Concrete cracking is regarded as one of the foremost factors posing a long-term safety threat
to the durability of structures. Recently, microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation …

Over the past few years, concrete durability has attracted much attention from researchers.
The demand for durable and sustainable concrete is on the rise due to the daily increase in …

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 …

Environmentally sustainable construction materials with reduced carbon footprint have ever-
growing demand worldwide. Based on this factor, some modified cement concrete mixtures …

Bacterial-based self-healing concrete (BSHC) is a well-known healing technology which has
been investigated for a few decades for its excellent crack healing capacity. Nevertheless …

In concrete production, the use of high-volume fly ash (FA) as the cement substitute became
interesting to achieve more sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials. However …

In this paper, a microbial self-healing concrete was prepared by using recycled coarse
aggregate (RCA) as a bacterial carrier. Based on the virtual crack model, the cohesive stress …
