摘要：Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is widely used nowadays. Improvement in the permeability of SCC is important because durability is greatly dependant upon permeability. Pores are reduced by adopting low w/c ratio and more SCMs. Another method is the use of bacteria in concrete. Bacteria synthesiscalcite as a result of its metabolism. The calcite produced seals the pores and reduce permeability of concrete. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate permeability characteristics of Quaternary Blended Bacterial Self-Compacting Concrete (QBBSCC), a blend of 40% cement, 10% microsilica, 25% flyash and 25% GGBFS. Bacillus Subtilis (MCC 2183) was used. For w/b ratios 0.3 & 0.4, superplasticiser dosage of 1.8 % & 1.6% by weight of binder respectively were used. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis, water permeability and Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT) were carried out on QBBSCC and reference concrete without bacteria (QBSCC).QBBSCC exhibited better resistance to permeability than QBSCC.
