Crack remediation in mortar via biomineralization: effects of chemical admixtures on biogenic calcium carbonate
(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 ...
Use of corn-steep liquor as an alternative carbon source for biomineralization in cement-based materials and its impact on performance
(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 ...
