Abstract
Bacterial concrete is a promising self-healing alternative due to its ability to seal cracks. However, to ensure effective self-healing, bacteria must be protected from the harsh conditions... Practical ApplicationsThere is a type of concrete capable of healing its own cracks through bacterial activity. However, bacteria struggle to survive in the harsh environment of concrete. Many rese...Keywords
