ABSTRACT
Cracking of concrete is a common phenomenon without immediate and proper treatment,
cracks in concrete structures tend to expand further and eventually require costly repairs.
Even though it is possible to reduce the extent of cracking by available modern technology,
remediation of cracks in concrete has been the subject of research for many years.Cracks and
fissures are a common problem in building structures, pavements and historic monuments.
We have introduced a novel technique in fitting cracks with environmentally friendly
biological process that is a continuous self-remediating process. In this study Bacillus
Sphaericus that is abundant in soil has been used to induced CaCO3. It is therefore vital to
understand the fundamentals of microbial participation in crack remediation. Cracks in
concrete form an open pathway to the reinforcement can lead to durability problems like
corrosion of the steel rebar’s.
Further more cracks can cause leakage in case of liquid retaining structures, due to alkali,
sulphate and drying shrinkage In order to overcome this problem, a variant of smart concrete
is rapidly developing, which is known as “Self-healing concrete”.The self-healing concrete is
one that senses its crack formation and reacts to cure itself without human intervention. The
impact of ECO- friendly micro-organism has been made use of the self-healing process in the
current project.
