Abstract

concrete is most commonly used building material. Cracks in concrete are the main reasonto structural failure. Cracks are occurred due to various activities such as shrinkage, mechanical compressive and tensile forces etc. The present study is to obtain performance of concrete by microbial activities. It is the development of very special concrete which is known as bacterial concrete where bacteria is introduce in concrete to heal the cracks developed in it.The present study is about the pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria which is capable of healing up the cracks developed in concrete. The optimal temperatureand optimal dosage required to growth of bacteria are studied in this study
