Abstract:

An innovative microbial remediation protocol is proposed to overcome critical limitations of conventional microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) for concrete crack repair. The method integrates pH preconditioning of Sporosarcina pasteurii with a bioadditive-assisted crystallization strategy to address microbial inactivation under highly alkaline conditions, inefficient calcium utilization, and structural instability caused by metastable vaterite formation. Acidification to pH 5.5 preserved 78 % of urease activity at pH 12.5 by stabilizing bacterial zeta potential, while a composite bioadditive composed of polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate, and colloidal silica nanoparticles reduced the critical nucleation radius by 29 %, enhancing calcite crystal formation. Mechanical testing showed a 26.8 % increase in flexural strength and an 88.7 % calcium utilization rate, with durability evaluations confirming stable crack sealing over 180 thermal-humidity cycles. Field-scale application to a deteriorated underground garage demonstrated 92 % void-filling efficiency and compressive strength recovery from 28.5 MPa to 41.2 MPa. The developed protocol eliminates the need for carrier materials and reduces carbon emissions, establishing a scalable and sustainable framework for infrastructure rehabilitation. These results highlight the potential of synergistic biological and material strategies for advancing next-generation selfhealing concrete technologies.
