Effects of hydrogel-encapsulated bacteria on the healing efficiency and compressive strength of concrete

Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation is a promising technology for self-healing concrete due to its capability to seal microcracks. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding hydrogel-encapsulated bacteria on the compressive strength and the self-healing efficienc...
