Abstract:- Concrete is a major component of building material. The application of concrete is rapidly increasing worldwide, and so is the use of cement which is responsible for global carbon dioxide emission. Concrete production causes a high energy burden on the environment. where bacterial self-healing concrete reduces cost in terms of detection of damage and maintenance of concrete structures. In this study we have investigated the crack filling concrete, using bacteria, it has a self-healing ability as well as is eco-friendly nature which increases the life span of the structure.The Bacillus megaterium bacteria is effectively used to improve strength by reducing the voids.Addition of an excess amount of water during the mixing of concrete results in the development of cracks. These cracks can be healed by using the innovative technique of addition of bacteria that act as self-healing bacteria namely BACILLUS MEGATERIUM.
