Abstract

Concrete is one of the most commonly used construction material suffers from micro cracks that cut down the load carrying capacity resulting in shortening of life. Now a day biologically modifications of construction materials become more popular for strength improvement and long term sustainability. An investigation has been conducted to study the compressive strength of concrete byusing bacteria named bacillus subtilis with the concentration of 106cells/ml. The cubes of conventional and bacterial concrete of size 150 mm X 150 mm X 150 mm were casted for the experimental study. Further these various cubes are tested under laboratory method i.e. UTM. It has been found that there was an increase in compressive strength at both 7 days and 28 days.
