Properties and Performance Metrics of Healing Agents in Self-healing Concrete
Abstract
Self-healing concrete is evolving throughout the years to address concrete’s shortcomings, specifically the development of cracks due to low tensile strength. Encapsulation, a technique first developed for self-healing polymers, has been adapted to self-heal concrete. The success of encapsulation to autonomously self-heal cementitious material is highly influenced by the mechanical properties of the cementitious material, mechanical and …
