This project investigates the effectiveness of bacterial-based self-healing concrete in underground structures. By conducting experiments in various soil conditions, it aims to determine how environmental factors affect the self-healing process, potentially reducing maintenance costs for infrastructure.
Concrete is the most used construction material worldwide for infrastructure projects.
Due to deterioration, regular maintenance works are necessary to seal the concrete cracks and restore durability.
In Europe, infrastructures such as tunnels and earth retaining walls alone cost approximately 5 billion EUR per year.
Self-healing strategies (particularly bacterial-based self-healing) are regarded as a promising solution to reduce the high maintenance and repair cost of concrete infrastructures.…
