Self-Protected Nitrate Reducing Culture for Intrinsic Repair of Concrete Cracks

Self-Protected Nitrate Reducing Culture for Intrinsic Repair of Concrete Cracks

Attentive monitoring and regular repair of concrete cracks are necessary to avoid further durability problems. As an alternative to current maintenance methods, intrinsic repair systems which enable self-healing of cracks have been investigated. Exploiting microbial induced CaCO3 precipitation using...
