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 condition in concrete, B. sphaericus spores were first encapsulated into a modified-alginate based hydr...
متن کاملThe Feasibility of Waterproof Microcapsule System for Bacteria-Based Self-Healing Cementitious Material
In this study, a waterproof material was used to fabricate microcapsule by interfacial curing reaction to encapsulate an alkaliphilic spore-forming bacterium. The technical feasibility of encapsulated spores and the influence of three kinds of curing agent on the calcium precipitation activity (CPA) of the bacterium were studied. Furthermore, micromorphology of microcapsules was observed by Sca...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Bacterial Self-healing of Cracks in Concrete
Self-healing materials are smart materials with the capability to repair itself autonomously after being damaged. Since cracks commonly occur in structures consisting of materials like concrete, polymers, etc., a self-healing mechanism is crucial for the durability of the material. In this research, we present a two-dimensional mathematical model of the self-healing process in concrete. This mo...
متن کاملStrength And Durabilityassessment Of Bacteria Based Self- Healing Concrete
In recent years, there is increasing interest in the phenomenon of mechanical property recovery in concrete construction using self-healing concrete. The study was motivated by the need to find a solution for the problem of cracking approaching the concept of self-healing concrete. The study was carried out on a bacteria based self-healing concrete using Bacillus Subtilis bacteria. The present ...
متن کاملScreening of Fungi for Self-Healing of Concrete Cracks
The goal of this study is to explore a new self-healing concept in which fungi are used as a self-healing agent to promote calcium mineral precipitation to fill the cracks in concrete. An initial screening of different species of fungi has been conducted. Fungal growth medium was overlaid onto cured concrete plate. Mycelial discs were aseptically deposited at the plate center. The results showe...
