How does self healing concrete work?
Self-healing concrete works by incorporating capsules of a healing agent into the concrete mix. When the concrete cracks, these capsules break open and release the healing agent into the crack. The agent then reacts with the minerals in the concrete and begins to form a new, strong bond, essentially repairing the crack. This process allows for cracks to be repaired before they become large enough to compromise the entire structure, increasing the lifespan and safety of concrete structures. Self-healing concrete has the potential to reduce maintenance costs and improve the durability of infrastructure.
