Abstracts: As current crack filling material in concrete proved harmful and toxic. It can be replaced by recent innovative, eco-friendly material – Bacteria. Huge diverse bacterial species can participate in precipitation of mineral carbonate, even in many divesre condition. Lots of work has been done for Bacillus Pasturii and Bacillus Sphericus. But in India, less aware about use of Bacillus Subtilis. So through this project we want to show the role of Bacillus Subtilis as crack- healing material in concrete to improve mechanical performance & its effect on various parameters of concrete.
