Abstract

In this research the steel fibers replaced with 1% of coarse aggregate and 20% of fine aggregate with bacillus subtilis and calcium lactate. Compressive tests on three sets of specimen, control with no replacement, specimens with bacillus subtilis and specimens with bacillus and steel fibers. Experimental results show that the compressive strength loss of bacterial specimens compared to control specimens was up to 40 % which was regain in the third sets of cylinders containing steel fibers up to 35% showing that the compressive strength of the steel fiber specimens is 90% of the control specimens.
