INTRODUCTION

DEVELOPED BY HENK M. JONKERS

BIO CONCRETE

CONCRETE

COMPOSITE MATERIAL OF
COARSE AGGREGATE
BONDED TOGETHER WITH
A FLUID CEMENT WHICH
HARDENS OVER WITH TIME

5
A LINE ON THE SURFACE OF SOMETHING
ALONG WHICH IT HAS SPLIT WITHOUT
BREAKING APART.

CRACKS

SELF
HEALING
ACTION
A)CRACK IS
FORMED
B)WATER
ENTERS
THROUGH CRACK
C)PRECIPITATE IS
FORMED

Bacillus pseudofirmus DSM 8715 and B. cohnii DSM 6307

ITS ABILITY TO PRODUCE HIGH AMOUNT CALCIUM CARBONATE

IT CAN SURIVIVE IN HIGH PH >10

ITS SPORES FORM THICK OUTER MEMBRANE

HIGH NEGATIVE ZETA POTENIAL

HIGH UREASE ACTIVITY

CHEMICAL REACTIONS

MERITS

Improvement in compressive strength of concrete

Reduction of corrosion of reinforced concrete

Maintance cost of structure

15

DEMIRTS

Cost

of bacterial concrete is double that of

conventional concrete

Growth

of bacteria in any medium is not so good

Investigation

of calcite production bacteria is

costly
Design

of mix concrete with bacteria ,there is no

available design standards
