Microbial carbonate precipitation for the improvement of quality of recycled aggregates

open access: yes, 2017
High water absorption is the main drawback of recycled aggregates which greatly hinders the re-use of them in concrete production. In this study, bio-deposition treatment, based on bacterially induced CaCO3 precipitation, was applied to improve the ...
