Abstract

A Self-Healing Material is described as a material that is capable of repairing itself back to the original state. Self-Healing Concrete is a product that will biologically produce Limestone to heal cracks that appear on the surface of concrete. When a concrete structure is damaged and water seeps through the cracks that appear in the concrete, the spores of the bacteria gets germinated, thus the concrete will be healed. Bacillus Subtilis:- Bacillus Subtilis is also known as Hay Bacillus. It is a Gram Positive, Catalase Positive Bacterium, found in soil. It is in rod shaped and can form a tough, protective endospore, allowing it to tolerate extreme environmental condition. The concentration of the Bacteria is 30 gm. and 60 gm. added while mixing the concrete. The Compressive strength, Flexural strength, durability of concrete will be recorded after 7, 14, and 28 days and also curing will be recorded for conventional cube of size 150 x 150 x 150 mm.
