Building the future with self-healing concrete and biocement
- By Gareth Willmer , Horizon -
After water, concrete is the most widely used substance on Earth. With applications from housing and industry to coastal defence and infrastructure, concrete and cement are at the cornerstone of life, quite literally.
Unfortunately, the construction industry also has a major environmental impact. Cement production alone generates up to 8% of global carbon emissions, more than aviation (2.5%) although less than the agriculture sector (12%), according to one report.
Innovative thinking is needed to make construction materials more sustainable, while keeping them affordable and versatile. Some in the industry are using new technologies to make concrete ultra-durable, while others are turning to biology to make sustainable biocement.
New types of sustainable concrete are key to providing the foundations for other sustainable infrastructure, such as wind farms, said Professor Liberato Ferrara, a professor of structural analysis and design at the Polytechnic University of Milan in Italy.
‘If we think of all the needs that we have now for the energy transition, I would say that we cannot do this without concrete,’ he said.
Punishing settings
He led a project called ReSHEALience, which set out to develop ultra-high-durability concrete (UHDC). Such concrete is able to withstand extreme conditions and self-heal when used for construction in punishing settings like marine environments and geothermal energy plants.
‘These environments are among the most aggressive situations that you can have for concrete structures,’ said Prof Ferrara.
The tailored recipes are what gives these concrete mixes their strength and durability, including components such as crystalline additives, alumina nanofibres and cellulose nanocrystals.
Concrete inevitably cracks during its service life, but one of the features of crystalline mixtures is that they stimulate self-healing. By reacting with water and constituents in the concrete, they form needle-shaped crystals that grow to fill the cracks. The nanofibres mixed through it add mechanical strength to the material and help to enhance its toughness, allowing it to endure extreme conditions.
It’s about spreading a new way of thinking for concrete structures. You have to think about the whole value chain
UHDC has been tested as a durable substitute for traditional wooden rafts in mussel farming, and to make parts of floating wind-turbine platforms in coastal areas. It has also been tested in the harsh conditions of a geothermal power plant, where its performance improved on traditional methods of construction.
Its use in the restoration of an old water tower in Malta demonstrates the concrete’s potential for the maintenance of heritage architecture.
Sustainable material
‘The pilots are matching expectations from all points of view,’ said Prof Ferrara. ‘We succeeded in demonstrating that UHDC is intrinsically a sustainable material. It allows the use of less material to build the same structure, so in the end the environmental footprint and economic balance is better.’
The material slashes resource use both by reducing the amount of material needed in the first place and by lasting much longer, with Prof Ferrara predicting that it may have the potential to last up to 50 years before requiring significant maintenance.
It can be produced in a wide variety of locations for many different applications using local materials. Moreover, crushed UHDC shows promise as a recycled constituent to produce new concrete with the same mechanical performance and durability as the parent concrete.
The increasing urgency of meeting sustainability goals calls for fresh ways of looking ‘holistically’ at construction, Prof Ferrara added.
‘It’s about spreading a new way of thinking for concrete structures’ that considers the whole value chain and service life of the planned structures, he said. ‘You have to think of the structural design, the procurement of materials, and the materials’ durability and life cycle. If you do not think like that, you will always have partial information and innovation will not break through.’
Biocement
Elsewhere, researchers are looking at quite different ways of innovating in the construction sector, harnessing the natural processes of living organisms.
For rail companies, the settlement of soils over time in embankments beneath railways can create serious problems and add to maintenance costs and passenger delays.
Mechanical methods for firming up ground materials or chemical-based stabilisers are usually employed as a solution. However, these can be disruptive and costly, have environmental side-effects and generate carbon emissions.
The NOBILIS project is therefore getting bacteria to do the work, viewing the ground as a living organism rather than a nondescript mass to be moved by bulldozers.
The idea is that stronger soil, created through a process called ‘biocementation’, can reduce the need for earthworks and materials like concrete.
Bacteria-built
In the process of biocementation, the bacteria's growth and metabolic activity are stimulated by providing them with nutrients and so-called cementing agents. The resulting enzymes produced by the bacteria catalyse reactions that ultimately form substances such as calcium carbonate, which bind the soil particles together.
To tell a civil engineer that you’re going to use bacteria to cement the ground raises eyebrows.
The technique has been recognised as having potential in soil with larger particles, such as sandy soils, including forming beach rocks to protect against coastal erosion and for other applications in civil or environmental engineering.
However, a bigger challenge emerges with finer-grained soils like clay and peat, due to more restricted movement of bacteria, water and other substances. Undeterred, NOBILIS is seeking to explore ways to use biocementation on a wider range of soils.
Recent work in East Anglia, UK has demonstrated the possibility of biocementing peat soils. The NOBILIS project will aim to scale up this work through trials in the field, said Professor Maria Mavroulidou, a geotechnical researcher and project lead at London South Bank University (LSBU).
Paradigm shift
Prof Mavroulidou said this kind of biology-inspired approach requires new ways of thinking and faith in unfamiliar techniques.
‘To tell a practising civil engineer that you’re going to use bacteria to cement the ground raises eyebrows,’ she said, because it’s a paradigm shift for the industry.
Wilson Mwandira, an environmental engineering researcher, also at LSBU, said NOBILIS is investigating techniques to lock up carbon dioxide in the soil as biocementation occurs, as well as looking at the potential of using more indigenous bacteria in the process.
Using bacteria already present in the soil would avoid having a negative impact on organisms already in the environment, explained Mwandira. ‘If you bring new bacteria into a community, you are going to have a disruption in the system,’ he said.
The hope is that such biocementation techniques will become more widely applicable to construction work in general. ‘We’re also trying to extend the technique more generally to other geotechnical materials found in foundations under buildings and civil-engineering construction,’ said Professor Michael Gunn, a geotechnical engineer also at LSBU. ‘All construction requires some form of ground improvement.’
He thinks that it could take a number of years for the techniques to be used in a more routine way, but that it is essential such innovative methods are explored to address long-term challenges in construction.
‘A significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions in the form of carbon dioxide is down to the construction industry,’ he said. ‘So we need to move away from the traditional processes.’
Water tower Malta
The Water Tower conservation project at the Public Abbatoir in Marsa took advantage of UHDC materials when it was reopened earlier this year. Built in the late 19th century, the landmark water tower was one of the first concrete structures in Malta, but had been slated for demolition because of its run-down condition.
Researchers at the University of Malta were able to head that off by using the new advanced concrete, which is much stronger than average.
With 12 columns and a religious statue underneath, the water tower is the height of a five story building and has been saved for use. Follow the link to learn more about the restoration of the water tower in Malta.

What Are The Methods Of Soil Stabilization?

Soil stabilization is a crucial process in the construction industry that involves improving the strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity of soil. It is essential to ensure that the ground upon which a structure is built is stable enough to support the weight of the building, prevent settling or shifting, and reduce erosion. There are various methods of soil stabilization, and in this article, we will discuss some of the most common ones.
Mechanical Stabilization:
Mechanical stabilization is one of the oldest methods of soil stabilization. It involves using mechanical means to alter the soil's physical properties to improve its stability. This method includes techniques such as compaction, densification, and soil reinforcement. Compaction involves using heavy equipment to compress the soil, reducing its volume and increasing its density. Densification, on the other hand, involves using vibration or impact to compact the soil. Soil reinforcement involves introducing a reinforcement material into the soil, such as geotextiles or geogrids, to increase its strength.
Chemical Stabilization:
Chemical stabilization is a method of soil stabilization that involves the use of chemical additives to improve the soil's properties. These additives can include lime, cement, fly ash, and other materials that react with the soil to increase its strength and stability. Chemical stabilization can also be used to reduce the soil's permeability and improve its durability. This method is commonly used in road construction and other civil engineering projects.
Thermal Stabilization:
Thermal stabilization is a soil stabilization method that involves using heat to alter the soil's properties. This method can be accomplished through several techniques, such as in-situ soil heating, hot air injection, and steam injection. The heat helps to dry out the soil, reducing its moisture content and improving its strength and stability. Thermal stabilization is commonly used in situations where the soil is too wet or unstable to support construction activities.
Biological Stabilization:
Biological stabilization is a method of soil stabilization that involves using plants and other biological agents to improve the soil's properties. This method can include techniques such as phytoremediation, where plants are used to remove contaminants from the soil, and biocementation, where bacteria are used to create a natural cement that binds the soil particles together. Biological stabilization is an eco-friendly and sustainable method of soil stabilization.
If you are in need of soil stabilization services, there are several soil stabilization companies near me that can help. These companies specialize in various methods of soil stabilization and can provide the expertise and equipment needed to stabilize your soil. Additionally, if you are looking for concrete raising near me, many of these companies can also provide concrete lifting and leveling services to improve the stability of your concrete slabs.
In conclusion, soil stabilization is a crucial process in the construction industry that can help ensure the stability and durability of structures built on unstable soil. There are various methods of soil stabilization, including mechanical, chemical, thermal, and biological stabilization. If you are in need of soil stabilization or concrete raising services, it is essential to find reputable companies near you that can provide the expertise and equipment needed to get the job done right.

What is Energy House 2.0?
- By Nuadox Crew -
Energy House 2.0 is a scientific experiment aiming to assist the world's homebuilders in reducing carbon emissions, conserving energy, and combating climate change.
youtube
Video: “Testing homes in the climate of the future - welcome to eHome2 inside Energy House 2.0″ by Barratt Developments PLC, YouTube.
The initiative, which is based in a laboratory in northern England, was launched last month and allows for the replication of meteorological conditions that are experienced by 95% of the world's population.
The laboratory will evaluate several styles of housing from across the world in two chambers that can experience diverse weather conditions at the same time.
The first home was built by a UK property business and a French materials company, and it is encased in ornamental bricks over a wood panel and insulation frame, with solar panels on the roof.
The technology is expected to decrease the typical UK home's energy cost by one-quarter.

Glimpsing Our Post-Consumption Future at the Cooper Hewitt
Plastics transformed the material world after World War II. Today, they pollute our oceans. A better future will be made with … algae. Or bacteria. That’s the dominant theme of a sweeping exhibition, ��Nature: Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial.” On display here at the Smithsonian’s temple to the culture of design, on upper Fifth Avenue, are objects you might once have expected only at a science museum: Proteins found in silkworms are repurposed as surgical screws and optical lenses. Electronically active bacteria power a light fixture.
Heedless exploitation of resources has undergirded industrial society and is quickly becoming untenable. The exhibition celebrates ambitious collaborations by teams of designers and scientists striving to achieve human ends in ways that don’t require extracting fossil fuels from the earth, for example, and that restore such vast damaged realms as oceans. The “Nature” triennial is positing no less than a new relationship between the human and the natural.
It displays some 60 projects and products from around the world that define a reconciliation of biosphere and technosphere, as Koert van Mensvoort, a Dutch artist and philosopher, puts it in the show’s excellent catalog. (The exhibition was organized with the Cube design museum, in Kerkrade, the Netherlands.)
The Cooper Hewitt’s curators are illuminating how environmental challenges are scrambling the roles of designers, scientists — and the museum itself. “Nature” isn’t an easy fit for the Cooper Hewitt. Built upon a decorative arts foundation, the museum’s traditional mission has been to promote “good” design — of office furniture, gadgets and appliances — and the singular talents who create it.
In “Nature,” designers and researchers pose bigger questions, envisioning possibilities that may not be realized for decades, and help us understand arcane data at nano and macro scales. To address fundamental issues in climate change and habitat loss, with their potential for mass extinctions, requires that a creative designer invest passion (and subsume the ego) in a collaboration with scientists working at the cutting edge of research.
The curators maintain that scientists, too, are “designers” of organisms like bacteria and yeast, which are becoming the components of new materials and products.
Biosynthesis and beyond
Project intentions are frequently remedial rather than exploitative: restoring a fragile world that has been depleted, polluted, eroded and fragmented by human activity.
Algae and bacteria are abundant, and the museum shows how such substances replace destructive industrial materials, especially petroleum-based plastics. Curators highlight an ethereal translucent raincoat made out of algae by Charlotte McCurdy while she was a graduate student at the Rhode Island School of Design. In her thesis, “After Ancient Sunlight,” Ms. McCurdy developed a carbon-negative, algae-based plastic. Making the raincoat actually reduces the amount of the atmospheric gas that is warming the planet, Ms. McCurdy said.
Inspired by the way coral forms in nature, Ginger Krieg Dosier and her partner, Michael Dosier, use biotechnology to “grow” concrete bricks that don’t require high-temperature firing, thereby reducing energy use and carbon emission that warm the planet. Nutrients and microorganisms cured the Biocement Bricks, which are manufactured in Durham, N.C.
Many of the projects shown range well beyond the biosynthetic to help us see nature and our relationship to it in a new light. Nacadia is an immersive therapy forest garden at the Arboretum in Hoersholm, Denmark. Designed by a landscape architect, Ulrika K. Stigsdotter, with the University of Copenhagen, the program puts into practice a growing body of research that supports the common-sense idea that engagement with nature is healing, especially for those with post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Bamboo Theater is a domed structure made by bending flexible and resilient bamboo stalks and weaving them together. The structure barely alters its setting, yet the architect Xu Tiantian conceived it to strengthen community social and cultural bonds in Hengkeng, China, a remote mountain village.
Manipulating — but not exploiting — nature
The Cooper Hewitt’s curatorial team of Caitlin Condell, Andrea Lipps and Matilda McQuaid, working with Cube’s Gene Bertrand and Hans Gubbels, argues that we can’t afford to think of nature as the implacable foe that must be civilized, as Western culture has long done. The difference is underlined by examples drawn from the Cooper Hewitt’s historic collection, in a section called “Nature by Design.” In fabrics and objects, nature is deployed as exquisitely cultivated flowers and trees useful in ornamenting lives.
But environmental challenges can seem overwhelming, paralyzing action. In such times a talented designer can compel society to respond by succinctly capturing the urgency of a problem. A lovely waters-eye view of a magnificent iceberg is revealed, in a longer glance, to be a depressingly ubiquitous plastic bag. Jorge Gamboa, a graphic designer based in Puebla, Mexico, photo-manipulated “Plasticeberg” to promote awareness of the need to reduce waste — and the harsh reality that 18 billion pounds of plastic ends up in the ocean each year. It has worked, becoming an internet sensation, a poster and cover of National Geographic.
Images of matted masses of plastic covering square miles of ocean have drawn attention and resources to the problem, which is the subject of several displays in the show. Babylegs (2017-19), designed by CLEAR (Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research) and Max Liboiron, is a monitoring device to catch microplastics — the tiny, harmful particles that result as plastics deteriorate over years. It can be dragged behind a boat, “trawling” a filter made from recycled infant leggings, on pontoons of used plastic bottles. It is a rather elegant way to address the problem — by recycling the harmful leggings and bottles.
Beast by yeast
Simulation seems innately unnatural, but is becoming an important tool: Designers are imitating structures found in nature in human-made products, replacing toxic industrial materials with benign simulated ones.
Michelin, in 2017, conceived a tire that could be created from biologically sourced, biodegradable materials made into intricate wirelike supports inspired by the structure of coral. It would replace the masses of discarded steel-wire reinforced rubber tires that pile up around the world. Though still a “vision,” it could never be conceptualized without the technology of 3D printing — ubiquitous in the exhibition — which has the capacity to mold elaborate three-dimensional structures using computer instructions.
Leather may be a natural material, but fewer herds of leather-skinned cattle are needed in the interest of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and freeing up agricultural land for more intense farming. Modern Meadow, based in Brooklyn and Nutley, N.J., has developed an animal-free bioleather called Zoa that uses genetically engineered yeast to produce collagen, the protein in skin. It is among several projects devising replacements for common materials that harm the environment. Others herald the use of genetic modification and synthetic biology. Issues around the manipulation of living substances are controversial: The Chinese researcher He Jiankui stunned the scientific community by claiming that he had created the world’s first babies from genetically edited embryos, hoping to make them H.I.V. resistant.
Gene-manipulation and other biological modifications are becoming available to independent researchers as well as “biohackers” who are taking the redesign of life into tech start-up mode.
The curators laud the proliferation of such “citizen scientists,” but there are risks when promising speculations are promoted convincingly on the internet before significant problems have been solved or consequences disclosed. “This can be genuinely harmful to the field,” said Suzanne Lee, chief creative officer at Modern Meadow, in a conversation recorded for the catalog.
The costs of extinction
“The Substitute” is a simulation that delivers a wallop. A computer-animated blob of pixels gradually resolves itself into a nearly life-size male white rhino, which paces and growls at us in photorealistic splendor. It was derived from Sudan, the last living male of the species, who died in 2018. He’s an ugly brute with an oversize head and horned protrusions that look sourced from the evolutionary parts bin, but he seems to gaze upon us humans accusingly for our role in the tragedy of extinction.
Now scientists are trying to bring back the species through an experimental process that includes interspecies in vitro fertilization. The simulation’s creator, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, who focuses on the role of design in biology, asks, “Will humans protect a resurrected rhino, having neglected an entire species?”
Michael Gallis, an urban strategist not associated with the Triennial, has described the industrial world as heedlessly relying on a conception of natural resources as abundant and cheap. The teams in the Triennial guide us toward a more sustainable future of alternative materials and renewable, nonpolluting resources and manufacturing. “Nature” shows us a post-consumption future, in which the urgency of restoring ecological function trumps the allure of the latest gadget.
