摘要
Bio-deposition has led to the exploration of remediation and improvement technique in the field of cementitious materials. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bio-deposited carbonate on parameters affecting concrete properties and the effects of bio-deposition on the durability of concrete specimens. The remediation efficacy of cracks in concrete was studied through compressive strength test and flexural failure test. Water absorption and the resistance towards carbonation of concrete were analyzed by water absorptivity test and concrete accelerated carbonation test, respectively. Experimental results show that bio-deposition is able to make the improvement in concrete compressive strength and the remediation of cracks. Bacterial deposition of calcite on the surface of the concrete specimens results in a decrease of capillary water uptake and carbonation rate constant, and an increase in resistance towards degradation processes.
