Self-Healing of Concrete Cracks by Ceramsite-Loaded Microorganisms

Protective carrier is essential for the self-healing of concrete cracks by microbially induced CaCO3 precipitation, owing to the harsh conditions in concrete. In this paper, porous ceramsite particles are used as microbial carrier. Heat treatment and NaOH soaking are first employed to improve the lo...
