Self‐Healing Molecular Biology for Microbial Concrete: A Review

Abstract

AbstractThe most extensively utilized material in construction is concrete, decreasing life of structure pointing toward loses in structural health. The crack is the major problem faced in the concrete construction. This causes the corrosion in the steel reinforcement. The structure gets deteriorated with the developing cracks; therefore need the proper attention toward this problem. The present work consists of the different self‐healing techniques used by the researchers to inhibit the crack and prevent further deterioration in the structure. The self‐healing mechanism proves advantageous in use of natural fibers to inhibit the corrosion process, to increase compressive strength, and to decrease water absorption is present in this study. The maximum strength increased and the width of crack get healed with the help of these techniques is also mentioned in the study.
