Evaluation of Bacillus Subtilis Bacterial Concrete with Normal Concrete
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 5
Abstract
Concrete is a most commonly used material in the field of construction with high compressive strength but with low tensile strength. The advantage of concrete is that it is easily available, less costly and convenient to cast. Concrete structures are very susceptible to cracking which causes chemicals and water to penetrate in the concrete that degrades the concrete strength, thereby, decreasing the performance of the structure. To solve this problem, eco-friendly concrete is developed. This concrete is formed by inserting bacteria into normal concrete. The grown bacteria are added to the M-25 concrete. The main motive of this research work is to measure the performance of the concrete by the microbiologically induced unique growth or filler. One such contemplation has lead to the improvement of a very unique concrete known as Bacterial Concrete where bacteria is induced in the cement and concrete to heal up the cracks. In this research, numbers of tests are performed on normal concrete and bacterial concrete for 7, 14, and 28 days. To determine the accuracy of the bacterial concrete, parameters such as water absorption, compressive strength, Ultrasonic pulse velocity test (UPVT), Flexural test and slump test are measured.
