A Biomineralization, Mechanical and Durability Features of Bacteria-Based Self-Healing Concrete—A State of the Art Review

Cracking is one of the main ways that concrete ages, allowing pollutants to seep within and potentially lowering physical mechanical strength endurance structures. One healing procedures merits research use bacterially generated calcium carbonate precipitation in mixtures mend cracks. The impact different variables, including nucleation location, bacterial type, concentration, uratolytic activities, pH, nutrition, temperature on bio-mineralization are discussed this review article. ATR-IR (Attenuated Internal Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy)/FTIR (Fourier Spectroscopy)/NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) among micro test techniques reviewed along with biosynthetic pathway bio mineralized carbonate. sealing ability recovery durability properties bio-mineralized specimen discussed. Moreover, we corrosion, damages, challenges their detection methods. Also, in-depth knowledge use, advancements, drawbacks presented. Future potential for (MICP) self-healing final section.
