Building concrete often cracks during shrinkage, affected by freezing temperature and exceeding of the design load. Small cracks in beams and slabs are not dangerous in themselves as they are harmful to the internal steel reinforcement, which performs the main load-bearing function in the material. When water and air seep into the cracks, the steel begins to rust, which leads to the gradual destruction of the entire reinforced concrete structure. A method for a concrete self-restoration using a biomineral additive has been proposed by scientists from South Ural State University.
