Abstract: Concrete is a composite material, which is mainly mixture of cement, sand, stone chips (coarse aggregate) and water. Though concrete is a brittle material, cracks are common facts in concrete. The factors affecting the development of cracks in concrete, are, Water-Cement Ratio, Tension in concrete, Freeze-Thaw Action, Shrinkage etc. Bacterial concrete is an, eco-friendly, innovative type of concrete that incorporates bacteria to enhance its durability and self-healing capabilities and fill up the cracks thus maintaining the structural integrity of concrete structure. This paper mainly includes a study on Bacterial Concrete based on various research works going across the world and its application in modern days.
