Abstract
This study explores the production of high-strength bio-concrete, a CO2-neutral alternative to conventional concrete, using a combination of methods including urease-active calcium carbonate powder (UACP), optimized aggregate packing density, and an automated stop-flow pressure injection method. The researchers achieved a compressive strength of 52.5 MPa and a cementation depth of 140 mm, exceeding previous results and suggesting potential for use in load-bearing building components.
