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 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 ...
