Abstract

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. This state of-the-art microbial based crack healing mechanism is one such phenomenon on which studies were carried out to investigate the role of calcite mineral precipitation in improvement of durability in bacteria integrated cement mortar. Keywords: Bacteria, Bacillus Subtilis, Self-Healing
