This paper reviews the types of bacteria used in concrete and the ways it can be applied as
a healing agents. This paper also gives a brief description of the various properties of …

Concrete, one of the most important building materials, has been in use for nearly two
hundred years and will likely continue to be the dominant building material for the …

This study aimed to develop novel bacteria-based self-healing concrete by microbial
induced calcium carbonate precipitation mechanism. A group of spore-forming bacterium …

Cracks in concrete structures can significantly decrease their lifespan by exposing
reinforcement to outside environment, leading to concrete degradation. To address this …

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 …

Cracks are one of the worsening reasons for concrete failure, which permits the penetration
of chemical solutions and could significantly impact the physical, mechanical, and durability …

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 …

The development of cracks, owing to a relatively lower tensile strength of concrete, diverse
loading, and environmental factors driving the deterioration of structures, is an inescapable …

The efficient crack healing capability of microbial concrete leads to an improvement in its
various mechanical properties such as compressive strength, water absorption and water …

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 …
