Abstract
Sustainability is the demand of globe. Creating and developing new resources is better than to conserve the available ones. In this study, the use of micro-bacterial influenced concrete is presented. Bio-concrete is emerging as a compatible alternative to conventional concrete with enhanced quality of self-healing. This property of self-healing along with appreciable strength requirementsmotivates for using Bio-concrete as a sustainable construction material. Use of Bio-concrete reduces the general flaws in performance of concrete caused due to cracks in concrete. This ultimately reduces the maintenance cost of structure as compare to conventional concrete. Microbes is an exquisite remedy for service life of concrete. Due to enormous causes, the service life of concrete structure is affected. Out of these one main cause is cracks formation. The crack formation can be due to flaws in composition, mixing and placing along with improper curing. Crack formation is difficult to control but can be handledin a better way using bio-concrete.In Bio-Concrete microbes are added for precipitation of CaCO3. It fills the space or pore between concrete material and hence improve the strength and performance behavior of concrete. Hence, Bio concrete fulfill the demand of new generation concrete with less economic investment.
