  Experimental Evaluation of Strength in Bacterial Concrete Mixtures

  By Srijan Shrivastava, Harsh Rathore

  Abstract: The incorporation of bacteria into concrete, through the process of Microbiologically Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP), offers a promising approach to enhancing the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. This research explores the effect of bacterial addition on the compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and workability of concrete. Specifically, three bacterial strains—Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa—were used in varying concentrations (10⁴, 10⁵, and 10⁶ cells/ml) and incorporated …
