TL;DR: Urea hydrolysis is the most applied in concrete repair mechanisms and is clearly evident that microbiological and molecular components are essential to improve the process and performance of bioconcrete.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and identification of bacteria to improve the strength of concrete.
TL;DR: Experiments revealed that bacterial concrete specimens showed enhancement in compressive strength and healing of cracks can be attributed to the filling of cracks in concrete by calcite which was visualized by scanning electron microscope.
