In this study the work of induction of microbial carbonate genesis was carried out in order to obtain an improvement in the consolidation of the materials used in construction such as mortars and paving stones, in order to confer them greater resistance and conservation. As a result of the tests carried out, it was found that the inclusion of a bacterial biomass culture formed by bacteria of the genus Bacillus sp., in the formulation of the mortar and paving stones, helped to increase the resistance to compression with Fc values. 266.3 kg/cm2 higher compared to the control of Fc 261.0 kg/cm2. Also, the state of aggregation of the particles improved remarkably, we observed that in the fragmentation tests the structures showed a geometrically more homogeneous grid, compared with the cobbles of the control test. Regarding the texture and roughness aspects, it was proved that the paving ston...

En este estudio se realizó el trabajo de inducción de la carbonatogénesis microbiana con la finalidad de obtener una mejora en la consolidación de los materiales utilizados en construcción como morteros y adoquines, para conferirles una mayor resistencia y conservación. Como resultado de los ensayos realizados se pudo comprobar que la inclusión, de un cultivo de biomasa bacteriana conformada por bacterias del género Bacillus sp., en la formulación del mortero y adoquines, ayudó a aumentar la resistencia a la compresión con valores de Fc 266.3 kg/cm2 mayor en comparación con el control de Fc 261.0 kg/cm2. Asimismo, el estado de agregación de las partículas mejoró notablemente, observamos que en los ensayos de fragmentación las estructuras mostraban una retícula geométricamente más homogénea, comparada con los adoquines del ensayo control. En cuanto a los aspectos de te...
