Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP)-Based Bio-Mediated Self-Repairing Concrete Incorporating Bacillus subtilis: Mechanical Performance and Chemical Durability Enhancement
The use of concrete as the primary building material for infrastructure is widespread. The structural components of concrete tend to crack due to a variety of factors. These cracks allow harmful substances such as water, chlorides, sulfates, and carbon dioxide to enter the concrete and cause it to deteriorate. The main...
