About this document
Bacterial Concrete: Enhancing Properties via Mineral Plugging by Rahul Kumar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses modifying concrete properties through bacterial mineral plugging. It summarizes that bacteria can influence the precipitation of calcium carbonate through metabolic processes like ammonification. The document then focuses on research using Bacillus subtilis bacteria to produce self-healing "bacterial concrete" by incorporating bacterial spores into the concrete matrix. When cracks form, the spores germinate and metabolically precipitate calcium carbonate minerals to autonomously repa
