Abstract

Present days, Cracks are creating major problems in constructions industry. Due to these cracks, the strength and durability decreasing in most of the structures. There are lot of methods are there to fix this type of cracks problem but all those methods are expensive and not environmental free. Recently most of scientists came up with new approach and innovative technique is self-healing concrete which heals cracks automatically once it is exposing to environment. This is method is the only solution to address most of the cracks in different structural elements. An experimental study to stop the cracks in the concrete with the use of bacillus Pasteurii and calcium lactate is presented in this report. The selection of bacteria in the alkaline environment depends on their survival. In this investigation, calcite lactate bacterial Pasteurii bacteria with 5, 10, 15 percent cement by weight for M40 concrete are utilized in varied percentages. The experiments are carried out with river sand and M- sand replacement in concrete along with Bacillus Pasteurii and calcium lactate.
