Abstract (en)
Since the beginning of civilizations, man’s need to improve his living conditions has led to constant development. A basic problem is the need to protect our life from the problems that it can offer us, not only the changes of nature but also the need to protect ourselves from others. From this arises the idea of generating structures capable of overcoming this need. Consequently, the first cements appeared, which were capable of resisting and joining these first structures. The cement must go according to the development of the humanity, one of the new innovations is the cement based on microorganisms, that not only is friendly to the environment, but its efficiency is such that it has the capacity to seal fissures. Bio-concrete is capable of regenerating the cracks that sooner or later appear in the concrete due to solar action, humidity, temperature differences, etc.

Desde comienzos de las civilizaciones, la necesidad del hombre por mejorar su condición de vida nos ha llevado a un constante desarrollo. Un problema básico es la necesidad de proteger nuestra vida frente los problemas que nos pueda ofrecer, no solo los cambios de la naturaleza si no también la necesidad de protegernos de otros. De ahí surge la idea de generar estructuras capaces de sobrepasar esta necesidad. En consecuencia aparecen los primeros cementos, que eran capaces de resistir y unir estas primeras estructuras. El cemento debe ir acorde al desarrollo de la humanidad, una de las nuevas innovaciones es el cemento a base de microorganismos, que no solo es amigable al medio ambiente, sino que su eficiencia es tal que tiene la capacidad de sellar fisuras. El Bio-concreto es capaz de regenerar las grietas que, tarde o temprano aparecen en el concreto por la acción solar, humedad, diferencias de temperatura, etc.
