Self-healing concrete is a type of concrete that can automatically repair cracks that form on its surface. This is possible because the concrete contains capsules filled with a healing agent. When a crack forms, the capsules break open and release the healing agent, which fills the crack and bonds the concrete back together. Self-healing concrete has the potential to significantly reduce the need for maintenance and repair of concrete structures, which can save time and money. Here is a YouTube video about self-healing concrete: https://lnkd.in/dAtHVvih #civilengineering #concrete #construction #innovation #engineering #futureofconstruction #infrastructure

Hard as concrete – but climate-friendly - Cement is the largest obstacle to achieving climate goals in construction. Every ton of cement produced releases 660 kilograms of CO2 into the atmosphere. However, alternative solutions are gradually entering the market. In the case of versatile concrete, the primary source of CO2 emissions is the clinker content in cement. Cement clinker, a burnt clay-lime mixture responsible for cement hardening, should not be confused with the clinker bricks used to clad houses. Builders and renovators now have the option to use materials such as oil shale or blast furnace slag to replace cement clinker. According to Holm Breitkopf from BHW Bausparkasse, using low-clinker eco-concrete can reduce CO2 emissions by 30 to 50 percent. Additionally, prestressed concrete prefabricated slabs offer time and cost benefits by being quicker to complete and lighter weight. This reduces concrete consumption by up to 50 percent and CO2 emissions by 25 percent compared to traditional solid concrete surfaces.

🔹 Did You Know? The Future of Concrete is Self-Healing! 🔹 Concrete that repairs itself might sound like science fiction, but self-healing concrete is becoming a reality and revolutionizing the construction industry. Using innovative technologies like bacteria, microcapsules, or unhydrated cement particles, this material automatically seals cracks, ensuring long-term durability and reducing maintenance costs. Why is this important? Cracks in concrete are a leading cause of structural degradation. Self-healing solutions not only enhance the lifespan of infrastructure but also contribute to sustainability by minimizing material waste and repair frequency. As engineers, staying informed about innovations like self-healing concrete is essential in a world that’s evolving rapidly. Below, you’ll find a short video and examples of real-world applications, including projects in the Netherlands and Australia, showcasing its potential: Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/dyC9nmw3 Read about the first project in the Netherlands: https://lnkd.in/etqPpSBC Learn about its use in sewer pipes in Australia: https://lnkd.in/g2Rhk8sN Have you encountered self-healing concrete in your projects or research?
