Abstract

Cracks are one of the naturally weaknesses of concrete and they are irreversible. Bacillus Sphaericus and Bacillus Pastuerii are common soil bacterium induce the precipitation of calcite exhibited its positive potential in selectively consolidating simulated fractures in the consolidation of sand. A comparative study on effect of crack repair by different bacteria on compression, flexural and durability tested on mortar cubes and concrete beams. The effect of different depth of crack on the compression, flexural and durability of concrete was studied. It was found that all the increase in depth of crack reduce the strength of cubes and beams.
