Experimental investigation of multi-strain bacterial concrete: Self-healing efficiency, strength, and sorptivity under varied curing conditions

Key Points

• Self-healing efficiency shows significant improvement under certain curing conditions, enhancing concrete longevity.
• A notable increase in strength was observed, potentially supporting structural integrity over time.
• Analysis using multi-strain bacterial concrete reveals its superior sorptivity compared to traditional concrete.
• Findings suggest that optimizing curing conditions may enhance the practical applications of bacterial concrete in construction.
