Objective: Development of Microbial based process for Bio-cement, Bio-brick and self-healing concrete using locally available resources.
Summary: Microorganism based bio-cementation process has revealed a new path in the field of construction engineering. The concept of Bio-Cement”, Bio-Brick” and Microbial concrete or Self healing Concrete” are the promising alternative construction materials produce from the process of microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP). These bio-cementitious materials shows better results and improve engineering characteristics as well as physical properties as comparable with the conventional construction materials. In this study, the microorganisms / bacterial strain will be isolated from the locally available bio-resources and will be cultured in the laboratory.
