The results indicated that GP is more beneficial to the growth of compressive strength than FA. At the Ca/Si ratio of 0.7, the compressive strength of the GP mixture is 95.7 % higher than that of the FA mixture, and the compressive strength presents a monotonously increasing trend with the increase of the GP replacement ratio for FA. The silica in GP has a higher reactivity than FA to form more hydration products. The main hydration product in the GP mixture is mainly the amorphous C-S-H with a lower Ca/Si ratio, which is difficult to crystalize and transform into tobermorite. FA facilitates the formation of tobermorite, and with the substitution of GP for FA, the fibrous tobermorite is displaced by sheet-like tobermorite and even the foil-like phases at a high GP substitution ratio. Furthermore, the hydration products in the GP mixture have a lower density than that in the FA mixture, but it is conducive to reducing the porosity of the autoclaved material. The low porosity is an important reason that GP as siliceous raw material is eligible for preparing high-strength autoclaved material.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":288,"journal":{"name":"Construction and Building Materials","volume":"455 ","pages":"Article 139154"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142663776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a response to the surrounding environment, the bacterial metabolism leads to microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICCP). This phenomenon is mostly prevalent with genus <em>Bacillus</em> and other genera. Bacteria being ubiquitous, survive in different environmental conditions, and can precipitate calcium carbonate through different biochemical pathways. Largely, (ureolytic) and (non-ureolytic) bacteria are studied for calcium carbonate precipitation in the cracks and heal them sustainably. Though immense work has been done and published in this domain, the technology transfer from lab-scale to meso-scale has been inefficient due to various factors. Primarily, the bacteria’s specific growth conditions such as optimum pH, temperature, humidity, oxygen availability could limit the translation of this technology to the real-world. Secondly, parameters such as water quality used for mixing of the cementitious materials, curing conditions, incubation time and temperature, and humidity vary from lab to lab causing diverse observations. Thirdly, the BBSHCM's formulation with lab-grade chemicals is expensive. The researchers are exploring alternative nutrient substitutes. Enormous literature ranging from meso to macro-scale studies has been published. This review is a wide-ranging effort to compile the knowledge from published literature on the roles of ureolytic and non-ureolytic bacteria in calcite formation, the problems associated with the delivery of bio-healants at the site of damage, impact of MICCP bacteria on the healing ability and mechanical properties of cementitious material, studies from various field trials, and the economic viability of these systems are discussed and summarised at the end.

An orthogonal experimental design was used to systematically investigate the mechanical properties, microstructural characteristics, and solidification mechanism of geopolymer solidified salinized loess. The tests included unconfined compressive strength (UCS), direct shear, pH, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to evaluate the influences of different factors on the solidification effect. The results showed that the sodium silicate solution modulus was the primary factor affecting the strength of solidified salinized loess, followed by the amounts of fly ash and slag powder. The Baumé degree (°Bé) had the least impact. Under the optimal conditions (1 modulus, 35 °Bé, slag powder and fly ash ratio of 1:0), the UCS of the sample at 28 days reached 3204.06 kPa, which increased by 16.32 times compared with the unsolidified sample.
