M.V Seshagiri Rao, et Studies on the possibility
al. (2013) of using specific bacteria i.e.
Bacillus subtilis as a
sustainable and concrete
embedded self-healing
agent
Bacterial concrete has Micro-crack is the Compressive test at For controlled concrete:
better acid resistance in main cause to 28 days for concrete M20 = 28.18 MPa
aggressive environment structural failure grade M20 and M40 M40 = 52.01 MPa
For bio concrete:
M20 = 32.74 MPa
(16% increase)
M40 = 61.06 MPa
(17% increase)

Split tensile test at For controlled concrete:

28 days for concrete M20 = 3.26 MPa
grade M20 and M40 M40 = 4.51 MPa

For bio concrete:

M20 = 3.73 MPa
(14% increase)
M40 = 5.13 MPa
(13% increase)

Flexural test at For controlled concrete:

28 days for concrete M20 = 4.68 MPa
grade M20 and M40 M40 = 6.11 MPa

For bio concrete:

M20 = 6.11 MPa
(30% increase)
M40 = 7.73 MPa
(26% increase)

(2018) Application of bacterial
species i.e. B.sphaericus to
improve the strength of
cement concrete
B.spharicus bacteria The crack in concrete Compressive tests There is an increase in
increase the strength of create ploblem with and without compressive strength of
the concrete addition of 30.76%, 46.15% and 32.21%
B.sphaericus at 3rd, 7th and 28th day
respectively while using
B.sphaericus bacteria
compared to
conventional concrete
Split tensile test with There is an increase in
and without addition split tensile strength
of B.spharicus. of 13.75%, 14.28% and
18.35% at 3rd, 7th
and 28 th day respectively
when B.sphaericus bacteria
are used and compared with
conventional concrete
