>>If cracks in concrete can be fixed when they’re still tiny, then they can’t become large cracks that ultimately cause structures such as bridges to collapse. It is with this in mind that various experimental types of self-healing concrete have been developed in recent years. One of the latest utilizes a type of fungus to do the healing.<<

A very neat solution.

Interesting.

Nice

The self-healing concrete that CSIRO was working on contained little vesicles of fluid polymer within the concrete. A crack would break the vesicles releasing the fluid which would harden in the air to seal the crack. A very nice solution to the problem, I thought.
