Exploratory Study On The Suitability Of Self-healing Concrete For Applications with Enhanced Mechanical And Durability Performance

The development of self-healing concrete, particularly using Basilisk-inspired approaches, is an emerging area of research that has garnered significant attention in recent years. While conventional concrete is prone to cracking and degradation, self-healing concrete has the potential to autonomously repair damages, enhancing its durability and sustainability. Researchers have made notable progress in understanding the underlying mechanisms of self-healing concrete, including the use of bacteria-based healing agents microcapsule-based systems and shape-memory alloys.
