Abstract

Concrete deterioration is a significant problem in the construction industry, which can reduce the service life and structural performance of buildings. Conventional repair methods, such as the use of epoxy and other bonding materials, are commonly used to improve the durability of concrete, but often rely on synthetic materials that are not environmentally friendly. This study focuses on the use of Bacillus megaterium bacteria combined with epoxy as a self-healing injection material, offering an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution to overcome concrete cracking. This study explores the potential of Bacillus megaterium to biologically repair concrete structures by adding the bacteria to epoxy at concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. Concrete blocks measuring 100 mm x 100 mm x 500 mm were tested using flexural strength, ultrasonic wave velocity (UPV), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests to assess the effectiveness of the repair. The results showed that at a concentration of 15%, Bacillus megaterium increased the flexural strength by 12.19% of the initial strength and the UPV velocity reached 3.19 km/s, which was almost equivalent to normal concrete. SEM analysis showed the formation of calcium carbonate deposits on the cracks, indicating the success of the self-healing process. This study shows that the application of Bacillus megaterium in epoxy provides an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional concrete repair methods, reduces dependence on synthetic chemicals, and extends the service life of concrete infrastructure. This innovation contributes to the development of more sustainable and efficient construction practices in civil engineering.

Abstract

ABSTRAKBeton geopolimer disusun dari material daur ulang yang ramah lingkungan, yaitu fly ash, recycled concrete aggregate, serta limbah serbuk cangkang telur dan kerang, sebagai upaya pengurangan penggunaan semen portland. Metode penelitian dilakukan melalui pengembangbiakan bakteri, pengolahan agregat limbah, pengujian sifat fisis material, serta pembuatan benda uji silinder dan balok. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan beton normal memiliki kuat tarik tidak langsung dan kuat lentur lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan beton geopolimer. Penambahan bakteri mampu meningkatkan kekuatan beton geopolimer secara signifikan. Nilai kuat lentur beton geopolimer berbasis self-healing meningkat sekitar 29% dibandingkan dengan geopolimer biasa dan mendekati performa beton normal. Namun, beton geopolimer tidak mengalami self-healing disebabkan oleh larutan aktivator alkali 10 M dengan pH > 14. Meskipun kekuatan tekan mungkin melebihi beton geopolimer biasa, lingkungan alkali yang kuat bukanlah pH yang sesuai untuk bakteri Bacillus megaterium.Kata kunci: Bacillus megaterium, beton geopolimer, kuat lentur, kuat tarik tidak langsung, self-healing  ABSTRACKGeopolymer concrete is composed of environmentally friendly recycled materials, namely fly ash, recycled concrete aggregate, as well as waste powder from eggshells and seashells, as an effort to reduce the use of Portland cement. The research method was carried out through bacterial cultivation, waste aggregate processing, testing of the physical properties of materials, and the fabrication of cylindrical and beam specimens. The test results showed that normal concrete had higher splitting tensile strength and flexural strength compared to geopolymer concrete. The addition of bacteria was able to significantly improve the strength of geopolymer concrete. The flexural strength of self-healing-based geopolymer concrete increased by about 29% compared to ordinary geopolymer and approached the performance of normal concrete. However, geopolymer concrete did not undergo self-healing due to the use of a 10M alkaline activator solution with a pH > 14. Although the compressive strength may exceed that of ordinary geopolymer concrete, the strong alkaline environment is not a suitable pH for Bacillus Megaterium bacteriaKeywords: Bacillus megaterium, geopolymer concrete, flexural strength, indirect tensile strength, self-healing
