What is it about?

A comprehensive review of how sustainable concrete self-healing systems have been designed, what materials can be used to form the systems, or to support the self-healing process, and how various design choices, material selection, and characterization veracity can impact the performance and sustainability of biological concrete self-healing systems.

Why is it important?

biological concrete self-healing systems can encompass a host of sustainable practices and materials. These systems can extend the service life of different built structures in a wholly sustainable style, where byproducts can be streamlined into system production as different aspects of the self-healing system.

Perspectives

Excluding urea from biological concrete self-healing system can expand their safe applicability in various environments, and can be easily deemed as the more sustainable option for self-healing concrete.
