Abstract

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 for fine aggregate of about 15 percentage. And construction waste is completely replaced in place of coarse aggregate.
