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

Field performance of bacteria-based repair system: Pilot study in a parking garage

This paper presents the field performance in a parking garage of the recently developed bacteria-based repair system for concrete. This liquid-based repair system aims at the sealing of cracks and decrease of the porosity due to the production of a calcium-based biomineral. The system combines advantages of both a traditional repair system for...
