AbstractIn this paper, compression, flexural, tensile and abrasion tests are instituted by the addition of Bacillus megaterium MTCC with glass and steel fibers. The fundamental goal regarding this examination assignment is by segregate than apprehend calcite encouraging microscopic organisms yet in conformity with appearing at the reasonableness over these microorganisms because of utilizes among cement in conformity with enhancing its multiplication yet strength. Microorganisms in imitation of remain fused of cement duly after remaining soluble inferior proof by undergoing the high pH on cement and endospore-shaping after standing up to the mechanical anxieties actuated into cement during blending. They must show excessive urease work in conformity with inspiring calcium carbonate as calcite. Bacterial traces had been separated beyond soluble base exams on an embodied manufacturing range yet have been tried for urease movement, the dynamic in conformity with body endospores or precipitation over calcium carbonate. Considering its outcomes, she has been identified so Bacillus megaterium BSKAU, Bacillus licheniformis BSKNAU or Bacillus flexus BSKNAU. The effects have been contrasted Bacillus megaterium yet MTCC 1684 obtained from Microbial Type Culture Collection or bio life LTD, Hyderabad, India. In that trial with the aid of utilizing Bacillus megaterium MTCC1964 (105 cells/ml over blending water) or calcium lactate (5 g/lit) is utilized. The metal filaments 0 %, 0.5 %, 1.0 %, or 1.5 % yet glass strands 0 %, 0.5 %, 1.0 %, 1.5 % and 2.0 % added in accordance with the sure and reckon the stress esteems because 7, 14 and 28 days. In this effect, we watched high-pressure multiplication within glass filaments at 1% than steel strands at 1.5 %. These stage regarding glass strands then steel strands added according to the bacterial strong at to that amount factor discern the strain exorcism because blocks, pliancy because court of justice yet flexural attribute because bars at 7, 14, 28, 60 years old days. we either count the UPV take a look at for shapes and cantrobro take a look at because courthouse at 28 days historic and 60 days. SEM trial is done after discovering the propinquity concerning caco3 among Bacterial cement.

Novel Applications

In recent years, biological mineralization has been implemented as a viable option for the elaboration of new building materials, protection and repair of concrete by self-healing, soil stabilization, carbon dioxide capture, and drug delivery. Biogenic mineralization of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) induced by bacterial metabolism has been proposed as an effective method. The objective of the present study was to characterize the bioprecipitation of CaCO3 crystals by Bacillus subtilis in a semi-solid system. The results show that CaCO3 crystals were produced by day 3 of incubation. The prevalent crystalline polymorph was calcite, and in a minor proportion, vaterite. The presence of amorphous material was also detected (amorphous CaCO3 (ACC)). Finally, the crystallinity index was 81.1%. This biogenic calcium carbonate does not decrease pH and does not yield chloride formation. Contrary, it increases pH values up to 10, which constitutes and advantage for implementations at reinforced concrete. Novel applications for biogenic calcium carbonate derived from Bacillus subtilis addressing self-healing, biocementation processes, and biorestoration of monuments are presented.

Negative Impacts

Steel slag, a by-product of steelmaking, imposes lots of negative impacts on the environment. For alleviating negative impacts, more and more experiments have been carried out to explore the application possibility of steel slag. The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of steel slag being applied in induction healing asphalt concretes to replace coarse and fine aggregate. Surface texture and pore sizes of steel slag were firstly tested, and then steel slag and basalt asphalt mixtures modified with steel fibers were prepared. Moisture susceptibility, dynamic stability, mechanical property, thermal property, induction heating speed, natural cooling speed and healing property of the asphalt mixtures were evaluated. Results showed that steel slags had more obvious holes in the surface while the surface area is much larger than that of basalt. Furthermore, steel fibers and steel slag both have dynamic stability, and steel fibers contribute to increased moisture resistance while steel slag is not. Steel slag asphalt concrete showed better mechanical property and better capacity to store heating. Steel slag asphalt mixtures had a similar heating speed to basalt asphalt mixtures but a significantly slower cooling rate. Finally, the induction healing test and CT scanning test demonstrated that steel slag asphalt mixtures had a similar healing ability to basalt asphalt mixtures. It can be concluded that steel slags have the potential to replace the natural aggregates to be applied in induction heating self-healing asphalt concretes.

AbstractLiving systems have not only the exemplary capability to fabricate materials (e.g. wood, bone) under ambient conditions but they also consist of living cells that imbue them with properties like growth and self-regeneration. Like a seed that can grow into a sturdy living wood, we wondered: can living cells alone serve as the primary building block to fabricate stiff materials? Here we report the fabrication of stiff living materials (SLMs) produced entirely from microbial cells, without the incorporation of any structural biopolymers (e.g. cellulose, chitin, collagen) or biominerals (e.g. hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate) that are known to impart stiffness to biological materials. Remarkably, SLMs are also lightweight, strong, resistant to organic solvents and can self-regenerate. This living materials technology can serve as a powerful biomanufacturing platform to design and develop sustainable structural materials, biosensors, self-regulators, self-healing and environment-responsive smart materials.

Corrosion Of Steel

This paper presents an experimental study on the performance of cracked ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPC) exposed to dry-wet cycles of 3.5% NaCl solution under the temperature of 60°C. The results show that the wider the crack, the higher the corrosion degree of steel fibers embedded in UHPC, and the deeper the chloride ion diffusion on both sides of the crack. With the increase of dry-wet cycles, the flexural strength of precracked UHPC first decreases and then increases, and the lowest flexural strength was observed in 60 dry-wet cycles. Although self-healing is hard to cease the corrosion of steel fibers, it can relieve the corrosion of steel fibers and improve the flexural strength exposed to 100 dry-wet cycles.

Bacteria are able to perform metabolic activities which promote the precipitation of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite. Bacillus Sphaericus was used in this study, which is an ureolytic bacteria that can precipitate calcium carbonate in its environment by the decomposition of urea into ammonium and carbonate. The bacterial degradation of urea basically increases the pH and promotes the microbial deposition of carbonate as calcium carbonate. In this research, the capability of bacteria to influence the formation of HCO3- by the production of urease enzyme was investigated. Results of growth rate and characteristics of bacteria showed that 20g/L of urea concentration was able to provide a good environment for bacteria with sufficient amount of nutrient to survive. The formation of HCO3- was parallel with NH3 production where the formation of HCO3- increased slowly as the ammonia production decreased. Urea degradation with suitable concentration of urea by 20g/L may form high HCO3- compared to 25g/L urea concentration. The results from the experimental works indicated that the optimal urea concentration was 20g/L.
