Abstract: Concrete is fundamental material in construction and cracking is a common phenomenon developed due to its relatively low tensile strength. The repairing of the concrete is immediately required to attain its serviceability and also to avoid corrosion of reinforcement so that the cracks don’t further expand. For repairing of cracks there will be higher cost expenditure which is uneconomical in many cases and is disadvantageous as there can be unexpected thermal expansions and other health hazards due to chemicals used in the repairing purpose. So in-order to avoid these health hazards and the high cost expenditure an environmental-friendly repair technique is developed using bacteria in this paper.
