Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of crack-healing in novel bacteria-based self-healing concrete
Virginie Wiktor,Henk M. Jonkers +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a two-component bio-chemical self-healing agent consisting of bacterial spores and calcium lactate is released from the particle by crack ingress water, which results in physical closure of micro cracks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria-based self-healing concrete to increase liquid tightness of cracks
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the healing agent when incorporated into the mortar matrix and the evaluation of the recovery of liquid tightness after cracking and exposure to two different healing regimes (water immersion and wet-dry cycles) through water permeability tests was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of modified-alginate encapsulated carbonate producing bacteria in concrete: a promising strategy for crack self-healing
Jianyun Wang,Arn Mignon,Didier Snoeck,Virginie Wiktor,Sandra Van Vliergerghe,Nico Boon,Nele De Belie +6 more
TL;DR: The AM-H encapsulated carbonate precipitating bacteria have great potential to be used for crack self-healing in concrete applications and demonstrate the efficient protection of the hydrogel for spores in concrete.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bacteria-based bead for possible self-healing marine concrete applications
TL;DR: In this article, a calcite-alginate encapsulated bacterial spores and mineral precursor compounds was assessed for: oxygen consumption, swelling, and its ability to form a biocomposite in a simulative marine concrete crack solution (SMCCS) at 8 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria-based concrete: from concept to market
Virginie Wiktor,Henk M. Jonkers +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an overview on the key aspects and recent advances in the development of the bacteria-based self-healing concrete developed at the University of Technology of Delft (The Netherlands).
