Abstract (en)

Concrete is one of the most widely used building materials in the world. It is economical, fire-resistant, and malleable, which allows it to adapt to a wide variety of constructions. For this reason, techniques and processes are being sought every day to improve this material so that someday it will not require any type of maintenance and will have a long useful life. Self-repairing concrete or bio-concrete is a material created in the 21st century that can seal the cracks in it, thanks to the fact that it contains certain types of bacteria that allow closing those openings. An investigation is carried out on the impact that the application of self-repairing concrete in Colombia would have in the different fields of construction, using the favorable and unfavorable characteristics that this concrete has, and the results that have been obtained with its use in other countries.

Abstract (es)

El concreto es uno de los materiales de construcción más utilizado alrededor del mundo. Es económico, resistente al fuego y maleable, lo que le permite adaptarse a gran variedad de construcciones. Por ello, día a día se buscan técnicas y procesos que perfeccionen dicho material de manera que algún día no sea necesario realizarle algún tipo de mantenimiento y tenga una vida útil amplia. El concreto autorreparable o bio-concreto es un material creado en el siglo XXI que tiene la capacidad de sellar las gritas que en él hayan, gracias a que contiene cierto tipo de bacterias que permiten cerrar esas aberturas. Se realiza una investigación sobre el impacto que tendría la aplicación del hormigón autorreparable en Colombia en los distintos campos de la construcción, por medio de las características favorables y desfavorables que tiene este concreto, y los resultados que se han obtenido con su uso en otros países.
