Project
Cementitious materials with selfhealing properties by using bacteria, polymers or pozzolans
The aim of the project is to obtain selfhealing of concrete constructions by use of calcium carbonate precipitating bacteria, by introduction of polymers or resins, or by activation of the pozzolanic reaction in high volume fly ash concrete.
