Concrete is the most popular construction material since it can sustain contraction, but because of its low tensile strength, cracks are inescapably going to appear and reduce a structure's strength and life span. The arrangement of cracks is still a veritably prevalent concrete phenomena construction; it causes the rebar to be affected when it comes into touch with water, CO2, and other chemicals. This causes water and various sorts of chemicals to enter the concrete through the cracks and reduce its durability and strength. Regular conservation and a unique form of treatment that will be truly expansive are required for fixing the fractures that have appeared in the concrete. In order to overcome this obstacle, a self-healing technology is applied to the concrete. This process uses calcium carbonate charges to pack the concrete's pores and microcracks, which helps to cure the fissures. In addition, access to high-rise buildings, basements, underwater structures, etc., is difficult, and the risk of accidents is high, making it physically impossible to go for maintenance. In such cases, self-healing concrete is very useful. According to the literature, bacteria can be used to increase the durability and strength of concrete, and the encapsulated method will produce superior outcomes than the direct application method. Industrial and agricultural wastes are both growing quickly today. Agricultural wastes and industrial wastes can be used in the building sector because of the high demand for natural resources brought on by increased urbanization and the difficulty in disposing of these wastes in industrialized nations. The earth must be sustainable so that the resources we currently use are available to both current and future generations. On the other hand, modernization and progress shouldn't have a negative impact on the environment. One such issue is cement production, which negatively impacts the environment on a daily basis due to the significant carbon dioxide emissions and other dangerous gas emissions. In order to reduce the need for cement, which will benefit the environment, this research explains how an industrial waste material like GGBS and an agricultural waste material like Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA). In the M30 mix, the cement is replaced with GGBS and SCBA contains bacillus subtilis bacteria. The GGBS was utilized in the ratios of 20% and 40%, the SCBA in the ratio of 10% by weight of cement, and the bacillus subtilis in the ratio of 10% by weight of cement. In comparison to the conventional concrete, the outcomes of this study are significantly better.
