Microbial Concrete Sealer

The objective of this research project is to investigate the feasibility and define the testing procedure and regimen effectiveness of applying a bio inspired mortar capable of producing Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) to mitigate the deterioration of deck, parapet, and substructure concrete. The research will include identifying the health and safety issues, effects on the concrete properties, and conducting minor pilot testing to evaluate parameters to be examined.
