Shrinkage Control & Self-Healing of Cement-Stabilized Unsaturated Soil through Sequential Hydration and Calcite-Biofilm-Biochar-Composite

Tawiah, Seth Owusu

This study developed a nature-inspired self-healing biomineralization approach that allows two different bacteria to co-exist in an environment with minimized competition, while promoting the most effective microbial activities. The two bacteria included one that produces a brittle precipitate (i.e., calcite), while th...
