Concrete cracks due to its low tensile strength. The presence of endangers the durability as they generate a pathway for harmful particles dissolved in fluids and gases. Without proper treatment, maintenance costs will increase. Self-healing can prevail small precipitation calcium carbonate further hydration. Therefore, use microfibres is proposed control crack width thus promote self-healing efficiency. In current research, sealing also enhanced by application superabsorbent polymers. When...
