This paper presents a study focused on two pivotal innovations in the field of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) to significantly enhance its durability and sustainability in construction. First, our research investigates the application of advanced self-healing mechanisms in FRC. By embedding microcapsules containing healing agents within the concrete matrix, we achieved a remarkable reduction in crack propagation and improved structural integrity. Our results demonstrate that the self-healing FRC exhibited a 30% increase in compressive strength and a 40% reduction in crack width, leading to a longer service life for concrete structures. Second, we explore the integration of sustainable materials in FRC production. By incorporating locally sourced and recycled materials, we successfully reduced the environmental impact associated with FRC manufacturing. Our findings reveal a substantial reduction in carbon emissions, with a 25% decrease in the overall carbon footprint of FRC production. This innovation not only contributes to a greener construction industry but also aligns with sustainability goals and regulations. This research underscores the transformative potential of self-healing mechanisms and sustainable material integration in FRC, offering tangible results in terms of increased durability and reduced environmental impact. These innovations promise to reshape the construction landscape, aligning it with the principles of sustainability and long-term structural resilience.
