Bio-Engineered Concrete: A Critical Review on The Next Generation of Durable Concrete

Concrete is a prerequisite material for infrastructural development, which required to be sufficiently strong and durable. It consists of fine, coarse, aggregate particles bonded with fluid cement that hardens over time. However, micro cracks development in concrete significant threat its durability. To overcome this issue, several treatments maintenance methods are adopted after construction, ensure the durability structure. These include use bio-engineered concrete, involved biochemical reaction non-reacted limestone calcium-based nutrient help bacteria. bio-cultures (bacteria) act as spores, have ability survive up 200 years, they also found start mineralization process filling or pores when contact moisture. Previous research proved self-healing technology, developed mechanical strength properties composite materials. The mechanism healing natural eco-friendly. Therefore, study aims critically analyze future potentials Structural Engineering field, through literature review. data analysis was conducted order provide gradual informative ideas on historical background, present situation, main According review, has promising outcome case increment crack healing. only disadvantage less application practical fields. results concluded new method ensuring sustainable development. And also, it indicated more outcome-based extensive various aspects should conducted, assess overall
