Abstract: The application of recycled aggregates (RA) can significantly alleviate the negative impact of construction waste on ecology and the environment. However, due to its deteriorating physical properties, RA’s current recycling rate remains limited. In recent years, microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been applied to strengthen RA, and it has attracted significant attention as a green ecological technology. The enhancement mechanism of this technique is to fill or block the pores and microcracks on the surface of RA with CaCO3 precipitates from microbial mineralization, thus improving the physical properties of RA. The influencing factors to determine the enhancement effect include the selection of bacteria, enhancement method, and mineralization conditions. Based on the current research results on MICP strengthening RA both domestically and internationally, this paper discussed and compared the effects and mechanisms of different strengthening methods on improving RA properties and surface structure, summarized the influence patterns of both the mineralization conditions and their various factors on mineralization efficiency or the enhancement effect in different studies, and elucidated the environmental impact and cost challenges associated with using MICP technology to strengthen RA. Finally, the future research directions and prospects of MICP strengthening RA were presented, in order to provide guidance and suggestions for the promotion of this technology.
