Application of modified-alginate encapsulated carbonate producing bacteria in concrete: a promising strategy for crack self-healing

Self-healing concrete holds promising benefits to reduce the cost for concrete maintenance and repair as cracks are autonomously repaired without any human intervention. In this study, the application of a carbonate precipitating bacterium Bacillus sphaericus was explored. Regarding the harsh condit...
