Effect of Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation and Pozzolanic Additives on Concrete Performance

Key Points

• Concrete performance improves significantly with the addition of pozzolanic additives, enhancing durability and strength.
• The study reveals that microbially induced calcite precipitation is a key factor in increasing compressive strength by 30%.
• Observational analysis of concrete samples treated with additives demonstrates enhanced resistance to environmental degradation.
• This approach highlights the potential for sustainable construction practices and the need for further exploration of bio-based materials.
