Introduction
The concrete which have the ability to repair damage caused by mechanical
usage over time.
The inspiration comes from biological systems that has the ability of healing
after being wounded.
Although being the worlds most used building material, concrete cracks
easily under tensile loads.

Autogenous Healing
Autogenous Healing
SAPs are mainly used for internal curing in high strength concrete.
The cracking of concrete causes entrance of water which swells the SAP,
hence crack sealing.
Encapsulated Polymers
When crack appears, the capsule breaks and the content is released.
The capillary action causes the chemical agent to flow into the cracks and
thus sealing the crack.

My Research
The bacteria used in the study is Bacillus Subtilis incorporated along Calcium
lactate as the organic compound.
The carrier used for this study are Iron oxide nanoparticles, Lime stone
powder and sand.
My Research
Conclusions
Self healing concrete is a promising field and its application throughout the
world is increasing.
There is still a need for research to determine the best bacteria and its
optimum concentration.
