Bioconcrete: next generation of self-healing concrete
(Springer, 2016)Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials and has a high tendency to form cracks. These cracks lead to significant reduction in concrete service life and high replacement costs. Although it is not ... -
Development of an innovative urease-aided self-healing dental composite
(MDPI, 2020)Dental restorative materials suffer from major drawbacks, namely fracture and shrinkage, which result in failure and require restoration and replacement. There are different methods to address these issues, such as increasing ... -
The Effect of Cell Immobilization by Calcium Alginate on Bacterially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation
(MDPI, 2017)Microbially induced mineral precipitation is recognized as a widespread phenomenon in nature. A diverse range of minerals including carbonate, sulphides, silicates, and phosphates can be produced through biomineralization. ... -
The effect of real and virtual construction field trips on students’ perception and career aspiration
(MDPI AG, 2020)To adequately prepare students for engineering practices, it is imperative that institutions adopt innovative methods of teaching, learning, and assessment. One such approach is the use of real field trips (RFT) to ... -
Induced calcium carbonate precipitation using Bacillus species
(Springer, 2016)Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation is an emerging process for the production of self-healing concrete. This study was aimed to investigate the effects and optimum conditions on calcium carbonate biosynthesis. ...
