Book Part Citation - WoS: 14Overlooked Strategies in Exploitation of Microorganisms in the Field of Building Materials(Springer-Verlag Singapore Pte Ltd, 2018-08-25) Ersan, Yusuf CagatayResource efficiency reports released in the last decade point out construction industry as one of the key sectors that needs improvement in terms of ecological sensitivity. Being aware of this unfavorable reputation of construction industry, researchers embarked on replacing the ongoing conventional methods with more sustainable and environmentally friendly ones. One of the approaches for the latter is incorporating microorganisms into construction industry. Popularly investigated strategies can be listed as biocementation, biomasonry, biorepair, and bioconsolidation. Most of these processes are the outcome of a single approach, namely microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) which was mostly investigated by means of axenic cultures and through one single microbial process, ureolysis. The state of the art about the latter is close to saturation. Moreover, approaching from the ecological wisdom perspective it can be said that some promising microbial strategies to achieve green building materials were overlooked and drawing attention to these strategies became necessary. This review study reveals the overlooked promising microbial strategies in the field of construction biotechnology. The context mainly discusses the potential of five overlooked microbial strategies: (i) heterotrophic and autotrophic MICP pathways, (ii) microbial strategies for surface treatment, (iii) microbial-induced corrosion inhibition, (iv) microbial sequestration of greenhouse gases, and (v) microbial- produced polymers, for their application in the field of construction materials. Further suggestions aim to integrate the microbial resource management approach and non-axenic cultures into the relevant fields of research for the development of environmentally friendly building materials.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Experimental Study on Increase of Bonding Strength of FRP Reinforcement in Concrete(Springer-Verlag Singapore Pte Ltd, 2021-11-27) Taskin, Furkan; Ciftci, CihanIn the last two decades, the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is of great interest to reinforce concrete beam structures due to its high specific strength, effective corrosion resistance, and low cost fabrication. Therefore, the flexural performance of these reinforced concrete beams containing FRP bars has been investigated by researchers for years with great interest. According to these investigations, one of the major problems is weak bonding strength between these bars and concrete material. Since, this major problem causes low flexural capacity, high deflection, and high crack widths for the reinforced concrete beams. Hence, the use of FRP bars by engineers does not sufficiently become widespread and also the engineering applications of these useful materials are still limited today. In this study, it is aimed to present an applicable solution regarding the bonding failures of the FRP bars in structurally reinforced concrete beams. For this solution, reinforced concrete beam samples were produced by using FRP materials on which knotted structures were formed. Then these samples were tested under 3-point bending tests. Furthermore, smooth-surfaced FRP bars and traditional deformed steel rebars were also used as reinforcing materials in the concrete beam samples for the comparison of the flexural capacities of each sample in order to investigate the effects of the reinforcing materials on the bonding strength. To conclude, the knotted FRP bars provide a significant contribution on the flexural capacity due to the increase of the bonding strength between the reinforcing material and the concrete in the beams.
