How military airfields could fix themselves with a new type of concrete
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 04/23/2023 - 16:00in Military, Technology
For those who have stumbled on a sidewalk or garage, cracked concrete is a problem. But what if the concrete could be fixed? Buildings with cracks can erase the damage before it spreads or before the structure crashes. Or, a concrete runway cracked by wear and tear - or devastated by enemy bombs - could fill the holes by itself and allow aircraft to take off.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon's research office, wants to prepare exactly this type of concrete for military installations. The Bioinspired Restoration of Aged Concrete Buildings (BRACE) program will merge biology and concrete to make this reality.
It's a strange mixture. In literature and cinema, concrete is often portrayed as the antithesis of life. However, BRACE actually incorporates biological organisms to create what is essentially a vascular system within concrete. This type of circulatory system can heal cracks from the inside before they reach the surface of a structure, allowing concrete to "cure" as living creatures do. It can also be used to diagnose why the concrete is deteriorating.
“The central hypothesis of BRACE is that concrete can be infused with self-repair capabilities typically found in living organisms, inspired by the vascular systems found in humans and vast networks of filamentous fungi that can cover hectares of land similar in scale to concrete buildings,” DARPA says in a recent press release. "These systems can provide a transport network for curing in the depths of the material to repair cracks before they reach the surface and cause failures."
BRACE will examine several biological approaches inspired by fungi and bacteria, said Matthew Pava, program manager at DARPA's Office of Biological Technologies. “Although biological strategies are a potential technological approach that the program will explore, bioinspired approaches based on enzymes and ceramic-like materials are also being investigated.”
The goal is to insert the BRACE "into cracks and voids of aged concrete to start the repair and then remain present to cure additional cracks that arise over time," says Pava.
Concrete is a challenging biological environment. It is highly alkaline "as a drain cleaner," says Pava, and there are few organic compounds, such as proteins, to sustain life. On the other hand, concrete is not incompatible with life. " Biology is ubiquitous and recent research has shown that even concrete has its own microbiome. We plan to incorporate 'designed living material' to help solve this problem, limiting carbon production associated with concrete construction and possibly reducing civil and military infrastructure repair costs."
One question that the U.S. military will certainly ask is whether self-repairable concrete can be used in combat zones to strengthen airfields, roads, bridges and other infrastructure. Although it is too early to determine if this is feasible, BRACE will follow two paths: a strategic route aimed at large permanent structures, such as missile silos and naval piers, and a tactical route for rapid repair of temporary airfields used by expeditionary forces.
BRACE will last 4.5 years, as several contractors - including the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the University of Colorado Boulder and the Battelle Memorial Institute - use different approaches in the development of technology.
Perhaps because BRACE uses biological organisms and processes, the DARPA announcement emphasized that "safety is fundamental and all research will be subject to regular reviews by an independent laboratory and regulatory agencies to ensure that BRACE technologies do not pose a threat to human or structural health". Researchers will be required to work with experts on the "ethical, legal and social implications" of the technology, in addition to meeting EPA requirements when testing BRACE outside the laboratory.
“DARPA does not assume security,” explains Pava. "We carry out tests to empirically determine whether the technology meets the appropriate safety standards and we do so in accordance with the appropriate regulatory bodies, including, but not limited to, the Environmental Protection Agency."
The concept of self-repairable concrete, or "bioconcrete", is not new. But the benefits for military use can be enormous. The ruined facilities in the U.S. military facilities have become a big problem: the structures are old and are falling apart, from barracks to buildings, warehouses of supplies that could be repaired would save money and improve morale. In combat, a self-repairable runway would save on maintenance - and complicate the task of an attacker who could not be sure if the air base would return
And maybe one day, the sidewalks will be fixed.

3 Laser Fusion Research Hubs Picked by Energy Department
The U.S. Department of Energy is creating three research hubs in the hopes of harnessing miniature laser-driven thermonuclear explosions for future power plants, officials announced on Thursday.
The three hubs — based at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, Colorado State University and the University of Rochester in New York State — will share a total of $42 million over four years.
The research effort will be “focused more on the underlying technologies needed for any inertial fusion system,” said Scott Hsu, the lead fusion coordinator at the Department of Energy.
Combining two small atoms — typically hydrogen — into a heavier one produces energy. This process, known as fusion, is what powers the sun and other stars. If controlled fusion could be recreated on Earth, that could lead to a bountiful energy source that does not generate planet-warming carbon dioxide or long-lived radioactive waste.

hey guys i know i am never here anymore but so many of you remain.
i have been going through some rough times trying to build a house and conservatory on the property I bought last fall. so many hurdles have come my way and i am so far behind on energy, time, and money.
if any of you have the ability to help, it would be greatly appreciated.
& any of you who do will be sent veggies free of charge for at least one year.
thanks
