Crack remediation in mortar via biomineralization: effects of chemical admixtures on biogenic calcium carbonate
Amiri, Ali; Azima, Mahzad; Bundur, Zeynep Başaran (Elsevier, 2018-11-30)Limited research on biomineralization in cement-based systems suggested that self-healing of surface cracks could be obtained by triggering biogenic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation within the cracks. While this is ... -
Impact of air entraining admixtures on biogenic calcium carbonate precipitation and bacterial viability
Bundur, Zeynep Başaran; Amiri, Ali; Ersan, Y. C.; Boon, N.; Belie, N. de (Elsevier, 2017)The applications of self-healing in cement-based materials via biomineralization processes are developing quickly. The main challenge is to find a microorganism that can tolerate the restricted environment of cement paste ... -
Use of biomineralization in self-healing cement-based materials
Amiri, Ali (2017)Factors affecting the durability of concrete structures are generally associated with each other. Due to its brittle nature, concrete can crack when stress is applied. Recent research in the field proposes that it might ... -
Use of corn-steep liquor as an alternative carbon source for biomineralization in cement-based materials and its impact on performance
Amiri, Ali; Bundur, Zeynep Başaran (Elsevier, 2018-03-20)Early age microcracks are generally the primary cause for a decrease in service life of cement-based structures. Recent studies suggested that it might be possible to develop a smart cement-based material that could self-heal ...
