    Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world. It can be found in swathes of city pavements, bridges that span vast rivers and the tallest skyscrapers on earth. But it does have a weakness: it’s prone to catastrophic cracking that has immense financial and environmental impact. What if we could avoid that problem? Congrui Jin explores how to create a more resilient concrete.
    Lesson by Congrui Jin, directed by Aeon Production.

    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
      @s888r 2 роки тому +1

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.

    • @solar0wind
      @solar0wind 3 роки тому +3

      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.
