Self-healing of concrete incorporating seashells as partial cement replacement by Abbas Ali, Abdalla Khalid, Sigdel Anish

“…The current experimental study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a bacteria-based self-healing admixture in low-carbon concrete to minimise maintenance demands on concrete structures. The implementation of such innovative technologies has the potential to enhance structural durability, reduce the frequency and extent of repairs, lower the consumption of additional repair materials, and consequently decrease the embodied carbon associated with maintenance activities. …”
