Improvement in the self-healing efficiency of concrete cracks via microbial consortia-mineralization and etched fibers
The use of bacterial mineralization offers an eco-friendly, durable, and potential solution for concrete cracks. The incorporation of fibers could improve the crack healing of concrete to a certain extent under static water conditions. However, self-healing of concrete cracks is still hindered by the smooth surface of the fibers and the employment of pure cultures, especially in unfavorable conditions such as turbulent water conditions. A novel self-healing method for concrete cracks via cooperative employment of facultatively aerobic microbial consortia and acid-etched polypropylene (PP) fibers is proposed in this study. The effects of different chemical etching methods and etching times of PP fibers on the efficiency of microbial adsorption and biodeposition were first investigated in this study. The effects of different methods for improving the self-healing ability of concrete cracks were subsequently compared. The results showed that compared with those of untreated PP fibers, the adsorption and immobilization of microbial consortia by acid-etched PP fibers were nearly two times greater. Compared with those of the samples incorporated with untreated PP fibers, the average widths of crack healing of the samples incorporated with acid-etched PP fibers and both acid-etched and preadsorbed PP fibers increased by 6.4 % and 14 %, respectively, after 28 d of static water curing. The corresponding values of the samples under 28 d of dynamic water curing were 24.1 % and 44.2 %. Microstructure analysis revealed that acid-etched fibers have more and larger calcium carbonate crystals attached to the surface than untreated fibers do, indicating better cooperation of microbial consortia-mineralization and etched fibers.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
