Bacteria-based self-healing concrete to increase durability of structures

Bio-healing for micro-crack treatment in cementitious materials: Toward a quantitative assessment of bacterial efficiency

Bio-healing is a promising approach to enhancing natural self-healing and thus completely heal large micro-cracks (> 200 ?m) in cementitious materials. The aim of this research is to better understand bio-healing of cementitious materials in order to accelerate the healing kinetics and maximize sealing efficiency of large micro-cracks. The bio...
