Abstract:

In this study, calcium carbonate was formed on the surfaces and inner structure of concrete using the microbially induced carbonate precipitation method. Bacillus megaterium bacteria were supplemented into the curing water and concrete mixtures. Three types of concrete were tested: control concrete, bacteria-containing concrete, and concrete cured in bacterial liquid. Compressive strength, water absorption, capillary water absorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and mapping analyses were conducted to investigate the effects of bacterial additive or bacterial curing to concrete specimen

Abstract: Cement mortar durability is the function of its internal pore structure and distribution, porosity and its permeation properties. Research has shown that some specific bacterial species isolatedfrom soil can tolerate harsh and challenging alkaline environment and can be used in remediating cracks in cement mortar structures.

Concrete possesses pores and the propensity to develop microcracks, both of which are very undesirable since they facilitate the penetration through water along with additional harmful elements into the building element.

To promote the deposition of calcium carbonate within the concrete material, microorganisms use the urease enzyme in this process.

Abstract Concrete’s deflection and cracking are influenced by flexural capacity. High-strength concrete tends to have high hydration rate, making it susceptible to microcracks, thus, early maintenance is required. The weak nature of concrete against tensile forces allows microcracks to occur and can propagate into macrocracks if the cracks are not detected. Therefore, an innovation emerged called self-healing concrete enabling concrete to cover microcracks independently.

In this study, a new type of bacterial carrier using methylcellulose was presented, and its applicability to self-healing concrete has been explored. Methylcellulose, the main component of a 2 mm pellet-shaped carrier, can remain stable in alkaline environments and expand in neutral or acidic environments. These properties allow bacteria to survive in the high-alkaline and high-pressure environments of early age concrete, and the number of bacteria increases rapidly in the event of cracks, accelerating crack closure. The results show that the survival rate of bacterial spores inside the mortar

Abstract: Bacterial concrete is a material, which can successfully remediate cracks in concrete. This technique is highly desirable because the mineral precipitation induced as a result of microbial activities is pollution free and natural. To repair the cracks in concrete is a tedious job and in turn is expensive. So to avoid these, a special bacteria is induced in the concrete which reacts with calcium to form calcium carbonate crystals which blocks the cracks formed in the concrete. To make the Bacterial Concrete more affective in crack reduction, we used glass powder as partial replacement

Bacterial concrete is one of the methods of rectifying the micro-cracks developed in the structural elements made of concrete. The gram-positive type bacteria Bacillus subtilis when acquainted with concrete produces calcite precipitation which heals the micro cracks in the concrete. Bacillus subtilis was used with a cell concentration of 106. The optimised percentage replacement of fine aggregates with sugarcane fibres of grain size less than 4.75 mm was 0.1 %. The effect of sugarcane fibres on the durability of bacterial concrete is presented in this paper.To study the Stress -Strain behaviou

Abstract: This Concrete is susceptible to micro crack formation and has pores which are highly undesirable because they provide an open pathway for the ingress of water and other deleterious substances. The use of concrete surface treatments with water proofing materials to prevent the access of aggressive substances is a common way of contributing to concrete durability. However, the most common surface treatments use organic polymers (epoxy, acrylics and polyurethanes) all of which have some degree of toxicity. Bio inspired materials can lead to a more sustainable construction industry, espe

Concrete is a common building material and is very vulnerable to cracking caused by unstable temperature/humidity. Concrete crack repair can be done by using microorganism substitution that can produce CaCO3 (calcite) compounds that can be used as an environmentally friendly method in improving structural formation and increasing the strength and durability of concrete, one of which is using ureolytic bacteria. This study aimed to isolate and characterize ureolytic bacteria isolates and then to assess the calcite precipitation potential of ureolytic bacteria isolates from landfills. The ureoly

Abstract:

During the service life of concrete structures, internal and external effects and micro-cracks occur in the structure. These cracks cause leakage of harmful substances into the concrete, deterioration of the strength and durability properties of the concrete, structural damages and crashes, and the high cost of maintenance and repair of the concrete structure. It is known that water-dissolved CO2 reacts with Ca+2 ions in the concrete and can repair the concrete by forming CaCO3 (limestone) crystals with very little water solubility. However, for this type of self-repair to occur, there must be

Abstract:

This self repair system is based upon harmless ground borne bacteria as the self-healing agent. The bacteria are activated after the concrete is cracked and the bacterial spores are exposed to moisture and air. The bacterial reproduction process creates a calcite by-product which fills the cracks in the concrete. By sealing the cracks in concrete, an effective barrier to air or liquid borne deleterious materials are formed and as a consequence of this, enhanced durability is achieved in the structure, resulting in lower life cycle costs.

Abstract Concrete is one of the fastest growing construction materials in Indonesia. Concrete has a low tensile strength that causes concrete to crack easily. One way to overcome this is by using self-healing concrete. This concrete is able to repair small cracks. Ureolytic bacteria can be used as a medium in self-healing concrete. These bacteria undergo a CaCO3 precipitation process to produce calcite which later fills the cracks in the concrete. This research aims to determine the effect of the application of ureolytic bacteria on the workability, density, and absorption of high-strength con

Concrete cracks in roads and infrastructure are ubiquitous due to environmental factors, fatigue, and material degradation. Applying bacteria with self-healing capabilities in concrete matrices is proposed as a solution. These bacteria, activated by water and oxygen ingress, produce calcium carbonate through biomineralization. They are improving structural integrity while reducing the adverse effects of chemical and water infiltration. The quantity of Bacillus bacteria to be added to the concrete mixture is an integral part of the standardization of the self-healing mechanism. 105 - 108 cells/

The main disadvantage of using concrete, which is accepted to be irreplaceable building material, is the formation of micro cracks. This is due to the fact that concrete is weak in tension. To arrest the microcracks developed in the concrete and to eliminate the drawbacks due to microcracks, the recent trend in the innovation of the concrete is the usage of self-healing concrete or bacterial concrete. It is based on the principle that; the bacteria present in the moisture of the concrete repairs or heals the cracks on the concrete. Another recent advancement in the field of concrete technology
