Abstract

Self-repairing concrete is gaining popularity as a viable method for increasing the durability and lifetime of concrete constructions. Self-healing processes are initiated whenever fractures appear by incorporating healing substances into the concrete mixture, resulting in the autonomous restoration of the cracks. A unique self-healing concrete substance called Penetron admix improves concrete's capacity to repair cracks. This study compares self-healing concrete made using Penetron admix against regular concrete to see how well it performs. This research involves analysing and contrasting the above two types of concrete's performance in terms of slump, compressive strength, and the healing of fractures. The results of this study offer insightful information on how self-repairing concrete utilizing Penetron admix performs when compared with traditional concrete. The findings add to the pool of information on self-treatment concrete methods and can aid researchers and building specialists in making material choices that will increase the longevity and preservation of concrete structures.
