Abstract

Cementitious materials are the most common construction materials globally. The structural strength is compromised by the corrosion of the steel reinforcements brought on by the brittleness for high tension fractures of cementitious composites. Bacteria and fibres can be used to fix these issues. Addition of bacteria in concrete has a great potential on concrete crack self-healing by microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP). In this investigation, classic Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) M45 mix with Bacillus Pumilus, 3S Polyester fibre and class F fly ash were added with two different mix proportions. Bacillus pumilus is incorporated in 107 Cfu/g concentration and 3S Polyester fibre is used with 1% in ECC. Concrete samples were allowed to cure for 7 days and 28 days. Various tests to determine concrete mechanical strength such as compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength were conducted in varied curing periods. The test results show that 3S Polyester fibre and bacteria have the potential to enable excellent performance in the strength of concrete.
