Advancements in bacteria based self-healing concrete and the promise of modelling

In the last two decades self-healing of concrete through microbial based carbonate precipitation has emerged as a promising technology for making structures more resilient and sustainable. Currently, progress in field is achieved mainly physical experiments, but their duration cost are barriers to innovation keep number large scale applications still very limited. Modelling simulation phenomena underlying healing may provide key complement experimental efforts, development its infancy. this review, we briefly present field, introduce some aspects from main ongoing developments modelling mineral systems, discuss how synergy be accomplished speed up near future.
