Well, we all are familiar with CONCRETE, its a mixture of cement, sand and aggregates. Its a grey coloured substance with cracks and gaps. We vilipend them. We rarely think of those tiny gaps present in concrete but Professionals know how those tiny cracks conduce to cataclysmic dangers and try new techniques to avert them. These cracks grow adamantly if not cared for. They may grow over time and eventually detriment the reinforcement. But do you know that concrete can heal itself? You might be thinking, how can concrete heal itself? but let me tell you it does. We all have seen that cracks are formed in concrete after it is freshly cast, this eventually can grow and damage the reinforcement bars present in it, to prevent these Engineers have developed SELF HEALING CONCRETE/ BIOCONCRETE. And this is all possible because of Bacteria. But In 2006 Hendrick Jonkers developed one of the most innovative features that concrete could have. By slight...
