Concrete structures like all materials are prone to natural or anthropogenic degradation and deterioration over time as they have rather low tensile strength. In the case of structural materials, long-term creates microcracks which increases permeability eventually lead failure. As a result, mending is required improve material reliability longevity. Maintenance concrete structure process that be done by inspecting repairing on regular basis ensure in well-working condition, has longer service life allows for early identification defects. However, there their maintenance hard reach thus put human danger. Therefore, self-healing plays major role protecting human-life, maintaining through self-repairing cracks without external aid. addition, improvement mechanical On other side, its essential keen understanding about various microbiological technologies used concrete. This paper presents an overview technologies, use today's applications, limitations bio important in-depth techniques future research.

Cracks in concrete structures can significantly decrease their lifespan by exposing reinforcement to outside environment, leading degradation. To address this issue, self-healing techniques have been developed, including biomineralization-based-self healing, where bacteria are employed initiate microbially induced calcium precipitate (MICP), promoting the healing of cracks. This article explores extreme environmental conditions pH and temperature which reduce sustainability potential bacteria. Furthermore, it implementation using aimed at mitigating adverse effects environment on bacteria, thereby enhancing capabilities. Notably, studies found that mechanical strength be increased cell concentrations 105 108 cells/ml. Based review, is depends factors such as temperature, well methods concrete. Moreover, there exists a direct correlation between bacterial concentration alterations properties The incorporation leads increment properties, with enhancement up 42.8 %. Understanding interplay crucial optimizing biomineralization-based durability infrastructure.

This study explores the potential impact of natural soil on concrete crack self-healing in sub-surface structures. Three types pre-cracked cement mortar samples were prepared for laboratory experiments, with some inoculated bacterial healing agents, others supplemented nutrients to attract indigenous bacteria, and plain served as controls. The placed within saturated under two conditions: slightly organic sterilised soil. After 100 days, closure was evaluated through microscopic inspection, water absorption tests, SEM-EDX scanning. results indicated calcite precipitation surfaces across all samples, but varying ratios (16%–81%).

Self compacting concrete is incorporated with a high amount of fines and chemical admixtures low w/c ratio, which leads to shrinkage microcracks. Shrinkage in the concrete, along congested reinforcement, heavy number cracks. To stop damage due these cracks, self-healing property was developed self-compacting by incorporating materials like bacteria calcium lactate into it. optimise materials, including reference mix, 10 mixes are cast tested for strength healing properties. In those mixes, both used 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2% weight cement. The compressive strength, UPV, rebound hammer tests done on cubes 100 mm sides. Split tensile cylinders diameter 200 height. When small used, higher compared mix. However, increasing resulted decrease concrete. Maximum relatively good were found 0.5% lactate. FESEM-EDS XRD results make it clear that precipitation formed form rhombohedral calcite.

Abstract Self‐healing concrete, with its ability to autonomously repair damages, holds promise in enhancing structural durability and resilience. Research on self‐healing concrete the past decade has advanced understanding mechanisms behind healing, exploring various healing agents, assessing their effectiveness structures. However, full potential of remains untapped unless effects are effectively integrated into design practices reinforced Realizing this challenge, paper synthesizes current research progress discusses possibilities consider codes. The focus was placed two specific benefits applying concrete: one centered other mechanical performance. Specifically, effect impeding chloride penetration cracked discussed first.
