ArticlePublication Metadata only Use of biomineralisation in developing smart concrete inspired by nature(Inderscience, 2015) Zhang, B.; Bundur, Zeynep Başaran; Mondal, P.; Ferron, R. D.; Civil Engineering; BUNDUR, Zeynep BaşaranRecently, interest has focused on leveraging the biological functions of microorganisms to develop smart cement-based materials. This paper provides an overview of the calcium carbonate biomineralisation process in nature and presents a review of the work conducted by various groups around the world on biogenic calcium carbonate formation as it relates to the hydration, microstructure, properties, and performance of cement-based materials. Promises and concerns of applying biomineralisation in cement-based materials are also discussed, and directions for future research are explored.
