Strength And Durabilityassessment Of Bacteria Based Self- Healing Concrete
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years, there is increasing interest in the phenomenon of mechanical property recovery in concrete construction using self-healing concrete. The study was motivated by the need to find a solution for the problem of cracking approaching the concept of self-healing concrete. The study was carried out on a bacteria based self-healing concrete using Bacillus Subtilis bacteria. The present paper describes the effect of this bacteria on the strength of concrete. An investigation on the strength assessment of the bacteria-based selfhealing concrete by finding out the optimum amount of bacterial content to be added to obtain maximum strength is depicted in this.

متن کاملModeling of Self-Healing Concrete: A Review
Self-healing concrete (SHC) has received a tremendous attention due to its advanced ability of automatic crack detection and crack repairing compared to the standard concrete. Two main approaches which considered as to-date self-healing mechanisms are autogenous and autonomous healing. In the past several years, the effort of the research has been focused on experimental works instead of numeri...

The current paper presents a bacteria-based self-healing cementitious composite for application in low-temperature marine environments. The composite was tested for its crack-healing capacity through crack water permeability measurements, and strength development through compression testing. The composite displayed an excellent crack-healing capacity, reducing the permeability of cracks 0.4 mm ...
متن کاملBacteria-based Self-healing of Concrete: Effects of Environment, Exposure and Crack Size
The effect of water-borne contaminants on the durability of concrete is well-known and cracked concrete is more susceptible to permeation of these contaminants. An approach to autonomic self-healing of such concretes is the utilization of microbiologically-induced calciteprecipitation. This approach uses the metabolic activity of bacteria and biomineral precursors embedded within the concrete t...
متن کاملApplication of modified-alginate encapsulated carbonate producing bacteria in concrete: a promising strategy for crack self-healing
Self-healing concrete holds promising benefits to reduce the cost for concrete maintenance and repair as cracks are autonomously repaired without any human intervention. In this study, the application of a carbonate precipitating bacterium Bacillus sphaericus was explored. Regarding the harsh condition in concrete, B. sphaericus spores were first encapsulated into a modified-alginate based hydr...
