No matter how strong concrete is, it will get cracks over time due to wear and tear caused by heat, water, and weather. You must be thinking, then what we can also get it repaired by people, well yes you can get that done but that requires time and money. That’s why today we are going to discuss a technology that tackles this problem. Various techniques, methods, and materials are used to complete excellent, sustainable, and cost-effective concrete buildings. Self-healing living concrete technology has raised the status of construction principles in the modern era.
Today we are going to discuss “Self-Healing Living Concrete”. As the name suggests this is concrete that heals itself when it comes in contact with water. So, let’s discuss this in detail:
Self-Healing Concrete is a novel variety of concrete that replicates how the body heals itself of wounds by releasing some substance. Some unique components (such as fibers or capsules), which include some adhesive substances, are dispensed into the concrete mix to generate self-healing concrete.
When fibers or capsules break, the liquid that is within immediately seals the crack and repairs it. It will take some time before it is used in the concrete business because it is in the initial stage of its research.
The applications of Self-Healing concrete are in the following areas of Marines Structures, Tunnel lining, Structural Basement, Concrete floors, Highway bridges & Walls of the building.
