| Summary: | This paper presents on results of the.effect
of Ureolytic bacteria on compressive strength and
water permeability of bio-concrete. Ureolytic bacteria
used is isolated from fresh urine. Water was partially
replaced through three different percentages 1%, 3%
and 5% by liquid of growth medium containing Ureolytic
bacteria. Tests were conducted on the 7th, 14th
and 28th days of the specimens curing. A maximum increase
of compressive strength (23%) and reduction of
water permeability (10.4%) is achieved by 3% Ureolytic
bacteria concentration. The improvement in compressive
strength and water permeability was due to the
deposition on the bacteria cell surface within the pores |
