Due to low tensile strength, cracks are common phenomena of concrete, through which transport of harmful substances causes early deterioration of the concrete structure. Crack formation in concrete structures is inevitable due to deterioration throughout its service life due to various load and non-load factors. Bacterial concrete is a prominent solution for the cracks. Subtilis bacteria increases the compressive strength of standard grade concrete up to about 15% at 28 days, and also shows a significant improvement in split tensile strength compared to conventional concrete. Thus the project emphasis on the concept of preparing a bacterial based concrete that can help to resolve the problem of cracking economically without the use of the destructive method to enhance the durability of concrete structures.
