The Potential of Self-Healing Concrete for Sustainable Infrastructure

Abstract

Traditional concrete is a widely used construction material, but it is susceptible to cracking and deterioration. This can lead to expensive repairs and the need to replace infrastructure more frequently. Self-healing concrete is a new type of concrete that can repair cracks automatically. This could significantly reduce the cost of maintaining infrastructure and improve its sustainability. This research paper will explore the potential of self-healing concrete for sustainable infrastructure. It will discuss the different types of self-healing concrete and how they work. The paper will also consider the challenges of using self-healing concrete and its future potential.
