This paper delves into the critical issue of concrete cracks, a common consequence of environmental factors and external forces, and their potential impact on the structural integrity of buildings. Recognizing the urgency of addressing this issue, the concept of self-healing concrete has emerged, aiming to revolutionize the construction industry by autonomously repairing cracks and minimizing the need for labor-intensive and time-consuming manual interventions. The paper employs a bibliographic analysis methodology to comprehensively explore the most significant technologies associated with self-healing concrete, identifying key research countries/regions and prominent research institutions in this field. Through an examination of scholarly articles, the analysis seeks to uncover key themes, technologies, and contributors within the self-healing concrete domain. Insights into the geographical distribution of research efforts and the roles of influential research institutions are provided, shedding light on collaborative networks and knowledge-sharing dynamics that drive innovation in this evolving field.
