The research focuses on the development of bioconcrete, an innovative material with the capacity to self-repair cracks, a common problem in structures such as beams and columns due to service stresses or deficiencies in construction processes. This material promises to reduce repair costs and extend the useful life of structures. In addition, the viability of using recycled steel shavings to increase the flexural strength of beams is being explored. The interest arises from the recognition of problems in the infrastructure of public schools, located in environments vulnerable to humidity, climatic variations, aggressive external agents and moderate earthquakes, which cause cracks in the concrete, compromising the structural integrity and safety of the buildings. The methodology includes concrete tests and mix design, evaluating flexural and compressive strength, granulometry, specific weight and humidity. These experiments were carried out in the Civil Engineering laboratories of the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. The main objective was to verify if the inclusion of steel shavings and the bacterium Bacillus subtilis improves the strength and self-repairing capacity of concrete. The design of the study focused on a concrete mix with a compressive strength of 210 kg/cm², with slump between 6“ to 8”, complying with ACI 211 Standard. The results obtained promise to set an important precedent in the area of civil engineering by offering concrete and sustainable solutions to critical structural challenges, therefore contributing to the continuous improvement of educational infrastructure and beyond.
