Self-Healing Concrete

؜The concept of Self-Healing Concrete originates from the idea of human scabs, where the concrete utilizes bacteria or microcapsules that are activated when cracks appear. This activity produces limestone and polymers, which fill fissures with minerals. This Self-Healing Concrete is important because it requires less maintenance for humans, and gives the concrete more life
