# 2024 First Aid Concrete |
|
Concrete is prone to cracking, which accelerates the corrosion of steel reinforcements and shortens the lifespan of buildings and infrastructure. This innovative solution combines self-healing bacteria and an anti-corrosion agent made from recycled agricultural waste to create a durable, low-carbon concrete. Activated by water and oxygen, bacteria in the concrete produce limestone to fill cracks, while the anti-corrosion agent protects steel. This extends the lifespan of structures, reducing both environmental impact and the need for frequent repairs
Resolute civil engineer with a Bachelor’s degree from MG University, India (2015), and a Master’s in Structural Engineering from the University of East London (2024). I have proficient experience in infrastructure, surveying, and concrete research, with a strong focus on sustainability and durability. My academic background and practical expertise enable me to contribute effectively to innovative engineering solutions, making a positive impact on the built environment. more
