Performance Modeling of Spherical Capsules during Mixing of Self-Consolidating Concrete

Autonomous healing is a very promising technique in self-healing concrete systems. For capsules to achieve their anticipated performance, they should be able to survive the harsh mixing conditions of concrete, yet rupture upon concrete cracking. At present, there are no standard test methods, either experimental or analytical, for determining the capsule survival rate during concrete mixing. This study investigates the correlation between the …
