Summary

INTRODUCTION

Concrete compresses of various raw materials ( cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, granite chips, water) in different proportions to attain its required strength as a homogeneous mixture. The concept of bacterial concrete is introduced to seal the cracks in the concrete by incorporating the mineral producing bacteria with metabolize crystal. This bacteria is used with water at different concentration in concrete to seal the cracks. This process is called as microbiological induced calcite precipitation. This is one of the best alternative and environmental friendly method to increase the durability of concrete
