Fiber reinforced concrete will be subjected to low water-to-cement ratios and extensive fracture exposure as part of a research to examine the capabilities of various add-ons to improve self-healing. An examination of pozzolanic materials' self-healing abilities in light of their mechanical performance is proposed in this work. It was determined that different exposure times ranging from 7 to 42 days might initiate self-healing in the material by applying a through-crack compressive force, wet-dry cycles, water contraction, water immersion, and air exposure. GGBS admixture with 30% demonstrated outstanding compressive strength in all four conditions, according to the results of the investigation.
