With the construction of the International Space Station, humans have been continuously
living and working in space for 22 years. Microbial studies in space and other extreme …

This review paper presents a comparative evaluation of polymer, bacterial-based, alkali-
activated, and geopolymer binders in regard to their production methods, mechanical …

Effective self-healing and improvement in mechanical properties make microbial concrete a
viable alternative for extending the service life of concrete structures. Being a relatively …

Structural cracks are the major cause of structural failure and significantly impact their
strength and durability. Bacterial self-healing concrete as a sustainable structural Smart …

In the present study, rarely explored spore former (Bacillus safensis & Bacillus pumilus) and
non-spore former (Arthrobacter luteolus, Chryseomicrobium imtechense & Corynebacterium …

Calcium carbonate precipitation, caused by the metabolic activity of bacteria, is a good idea
to improve concrete performance. This study was aimed at investigating the effect on using …

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a remarkable method that creates
sustainable cementitious binding material for use in geotechnical/structural engineering and …

Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology has gained significant traction
as an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and intelligent self-healing method for concrete cracks. The …

Self-healing concrete, so-called bio-concrete, is a type of concrete designed to repair and fix
its own cracks without human intervention. It uses microbial bio-mineralization activity called …

Small cracks in concrete can develop into larger cracks, reducing the service life of concrete
structures. Therefore, the early prevention of fine crack progression is crucial. In this study, a …
