Abstract

Concrete is a material that has high compressive strength. However, concrete has a lower tensile strength than its compressive strength. As a result, the concrete often cracks and allows the entry of harmful substances such as  dan   causing corrosion of the reinforcement. Therefore, the repair method began to shift from the conventional way to the concept of self-healing concrete which involves the deposition of CaCO3. Precipitation can be done by the enzymatically – induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) method through a combination of urease, urea, and CaCl2 into a solution. This research used soybean extract as a substitute for pure urease enzyme. Variations in the concentration of soybean flour used as injection solution were variations in the content of soybean flour 15 g/L because it produced an optimum calcite mass of 2.62 grams. As a result, there was an increase in the compressive strength of BI against BR. In addition, there was a decreased value of permeability and porosity and the number of injections carried out. The increase in compressive strength, decrease in permeability, and decrease in porosity in concrete is due to CaCO3 deposition in the concrete which can cover the pores and cracks in the concrete.

Abstract

Cracks facilitate aggressive substances entering the steel easily and cause corrosion of the reinforcement. There are several innovative methods for dealing with cracks in concrete, one of which is using bacteria. The purpose of using bacteria and CaL is to find out the role and effectiveness of repairing cracks in concrete. In outline, several methods and tests are carried out, including bacterial culture, test tube, concrete sample making, concrete curing, compressive strength testing, permeability testing, absorption testing, image processing testing, and microscopic testing. The test tube results showed that the highest mass of calcite was found in a solution of 2 ml of bacteria and CaL with a concentration of 65.4 g/L. The cracks appeared closed visually at 28 days of age. Through imageJ software, the crack repair rate in concrete reaches 95.94%. The effect of adding B. subtilis and CaL was proven to be able to close concrete cracks and increase the compressive strength of cracked concrete by 13.16%, reduce permeability by 53.12%, and absorption by 22.20%. This was confirmed by SEM testing and VHX-7000 observations which showed the presence of calcite crystals in the concrete pores and filled the concrete crack areas. This study elucidated that using bacillus subtilis bacteria and calcium Lactate in self-healing concrete is an effective technique to repair the concrete crack.
