2) ENCAPSULATION LWA
The part of the coarse aggregate is replaced by the
light weight aggregate ,which is impregnated with
the twice the calcium lactate solution and the spores
of bacteria.
After impregnation the clay particles with 6%
healing agents and the concrete is made.
ADVANTAGES
Helps to fill the cracks
Improvement in compressive strength of concrete.
Better resistance towards freeze thaw attack reduction.
Reduction in permiability of concrete.
Reduction in corrosion of reinforced concrete.
Helps to reduce maintance and repair.
DISADVANTAGES
Cost of self healing concrete is double than
conventional concrete.
Growth of any bacteria is not good in any atmosphere
media.
There is no is code or other code is available.
Investigation of calcite precipitation is costly studied.
Skilled labour is required.
APPLICATIONS
Self healing concrete can be used for sectors such as
tunnel-lining, structural basement walls, highways,
bridges, concrete floors and marine structures.
This is new technology can provide ways to durable
roads.
High strength buildings with more bearing capacity.
Long lasting river banks.
Erosion prevention of loose sands.
CONCLUSION
Microbial concrete technology has proved to be
the better than many conventional technologies
because of its ecofriendly nature and self healing
abilities and increase in durability of various
building materials and give them high strength for
more bearing capacity and increase the life of the
building.
