Microbial Applications in Construction Materials
Microbial Applications in Construction Materials is a research topic within Environmental Engineering. Science Explorer counts 8.3k research works in it since 1950. 10.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the use of microbial carbonate precipitation, particularly through the action of ureolytic bacteria, for soil improvement and self-healing concrete in construction. It explores biocementation, calcite precipitation, and biomineralization as sustainable techniques in geotechnical engineering, aiming to enhance the durability and strength of construction materials.
