Concrete is the most common building material
which tends to crack. Thus, it is important to repair cracks in concrete
structures. To this aim, the scientists have been studying on bacterial
concrete to improve self-healing of cracks using bacteria, and which conditions
are required for the growth of the bacteria in concrete. For this reason,
Bacillus was used in concrete production which is a mixture of bacterial spores
with water-active nutrients, and it was observed that the calcite sedimentation
leads to self-healing of cracks in concrete. In this study, the results of the
literature about the properties of self-healing bacterial concrete were
evaluated to lead new studies in Turkey.
