The document discusses self-healing concrete that uses bacteria to repair cracks. It begins with an introduction that defines self-healing concrete as concrete that can heal itself when exposed to air and water by producing lime. It then discusses the necessity of self-healing concrete due to cracks over 2mm failing to heal naturally. The document outlines the working process, including the specific bacteria used - Bacillus species that are resistant to alkalinity and mechanical stress. It describes how the bacteria and chemical precursors activate to fill cracks with lime when water penetrates cracks. Testing has found the bacterial concrete is able to reduce permeability and remediate cracks. However, its production cost is higher than traditional concrete.
