Advances in Constructional Engineering

Due to their long history, the brick masonry structures of historical buildings are facing increasingly serious aging and damage problems, which are difficult to effectively solve with traditional repair methods. In recent years, microbial reinforcement technology, as a new type of repair method, has gradually attracted attention. This technology utilizes the biological activity of microorganisms to promote the self-repair and reinforcement of brick masonry structures, thereby enhancing the durability and stability of the structures. Through field application cases, this paper evaluates the practical effects of microbial reinforcement technology in the brick masonry structures of historical buildings, and analyzes its advantages and challenges. Microbial reinforcement technology has significant effects in improving structural strength, enhancing durability, and delaying the aging process. However, there are still some technical obstacles and environmental constraints during the implementation of the technology.
