It's the same idea, but instead of calcium carbonate leaking out of quicklime in Roman concrete, it's done by bacteria.

The questions are if the bacteria will survive 50-100 years or more in the real world, and if this can be done economically at scale. My guess is no, it's more of a science experiment or something to be used in niche applications.
