Abstract

This study explores the effect of self-healing concrete in existing buildings and its crucial impact in terms of sustainability, permanence, and access to the internal strength of concrete in order to contribute to the process of protecting the internal parts of the building from the reinforcing steel structure as well as prevent the internal corrosion of iron reinforcement. This study also highlights the market growth side of the cement sector for self-healing products and access to growth in markets from (24 to 26%). Self-healing concrete technology is an advanced technology with self-healing compound. It allows for the repair of small cracks that affect the structure, which contributes to the support of the building to repair and rehabilitate the building. It also helps in repairing internal cracks without any financial costs. Compound prepares to spread when cracks occur and when reaching an appropriate environment in order to work to rehabilitate cracks. In the coming years, as growth thrives in order to reach the purchasing power in a prosperity in the cement sector, which improves internal and external investment and increases in attracting investors in the cement sector. The study aims to reach scientific research of high quality and it specializes in studying the United Kingdom market and the prosperity of self-healing concrete in the cement sector. Moreover, it contributes to the prosperity of self-healing products because of their contribution in reducing the financial costs that are under the building maintenance and rehabilitation department. This study also contributes to studies in the United Kingdom, which resulted from the impact of the cement market that will probably flourish and grow in the coming years. The researcher suggests that the development of the self-healing concrete will be reflected in the cement sector, which will be a reason for improving and developing self-healing concrete that will spread in sectors other than the cement industry.
