Reduction of water permeation through cracks in mortar by addition of bacteria based healing agent

Development of self-healing granules having semi-capsulation effect by using cement compound, chemical/mineral admixtures & its watertight performance through crack

Granulation technique, introducing the self-healing ability to concrete, was developed by Koide, 2010 [1] based on the capsulation technology in the food/medicine industry. In this research, self-healing granules, containing cement compounds, chemical and mineral admixtures, were fabricated by a proposed granulation process and the capability of...
