Abstract

The problem of cracks in reinforced concrete can be solved by using self-healing concrete for the production of products and structures. The possibility of using and regulating the autogenous mechanism of self-healing in concrete has been considered. Research is aimed at enhancing this natural potential using special additives with pozzolanic activity.
