Experimental investigation on the strength and durability properties of bacterial self-healing recycled aggregate concrete with mineral admixtures

•The self-healing properties acquired by bacteria in RAC were investigated.•SEM, EDS and XRD analysis of bacterial precipitates were performed.•The surface cracks were observed to be healed by bacterial precipitations.•The regain in strength was 57% to 93% in the cracked specimen at the age of 28 to...
