Application of Proteus mirabilis and Proteus vulgaris mixture to design self-healing concrete

This study investigated two indigenous micro-organisms that can be isolated from soil. The isolated micro-organisms could precipitate calcium carbonate. These micro-organisms were applied to design self-healing concretes. Concrete is one of the most important materials which is used to build structu...
