[@raulrivero244]

As civil engineering student, this looks amazing! About the cracks, when they appear on a Beam it means that whether the steel or concrete are not well design to bear the stresses. Therefore, when the cracking appears it could meen that the structure may fail (and not necessary because of the concrete that colaborates in the compresion zone, it may fail in tension) and we must avoid a britle failure (very rapid cracking) so people may be allowed the evacuate the builidng. I would like to know if this self healing system can avoid this kind of failure in structural elements.

[@s888r]

Oh yeah, physical problems too. But I wonder, do the healing cracks put more strain (or stress, I really don't know) on the entire structure?

[@quahntasy]

You don't want to see, but to those who are curious enough, not everybody can afford luxury of staying at home at most times. And not everybody is willing to cooperate, since, at least, you know, unlike America & Europe the rest the world can't afford to fight windmills, such as climate change and intolerance towards minorities, we have real problems to deal with.

[@adityabagdi1178]

TedEd: What if cracks in concrete could fix themselves Me: What if concrete would never crack

[@mrflip-flop3198]

Exactly. Maybe if they were slightly elastic and they would produce very small bends instead of small cracks.

[@joermnyc]

@@mrflip-flop3198 I believe the cracking is because the elasticity of concrete reduces over time.

[@solar0wind]

The issue is that concrete has a very high pH inside, but when the pH lowers over time the concrete becomes more and more unstable, and the good thing with the bacteria that precipitate calcite using the so called active pathway is that they also increase the concrete's pH. The downside to that is that at some point it may become so alkaline that not even the alkaliphilic bacteria can survive.

[@DevRSingh]

[@prdoyle]

There's something missing here. There are ancient Roman concrete structures that are still standing. One reason is that they built their structures to be entirely under compression, using arches and vaults. We build our structures to be under tension, using steel reinforcement, and that's a major reason our structures don't last as long.

[@30secondsTHESIS]

their are lots of benefit of building structures under tension, one is no sudden fall of the structure like in tomb riders movie.
