Abstract |
|
Concrete is cheap and easily available construction material in the world. So advancement in the concrete is to improve its compressive strength and durability of structures by using micro organisms carrying process of MICP. This paper discusses the filling of voids in fresh concrete and plugging of artificially cracked cement mortar using Bacillus Sphaericus and Proteus Vulgarious bacteria combined with sand as a filling material in artificially made cuts in cement mortar which was cured in urea and CaCl2 medium. The effect on the compressive strength, flexural strength due to the mixing of bacteria along with effect of water absorption on concrete cubes is also discussed in this paper. The main aim of the Paper is to evaluate the strength in comparison with conventional and bio concrete cubes. The evaluated results suggest that there is significant increase in the strength of concrete. |
