Autogenous crack healing can be stimulated with superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) in
microfibre reinforced strain hardening engineered cementitious composite (ECC). Cradle-to …

Self-healing of cracks in an ultra high performance concrete, considered as a model
material, is investigated in this paper. An experimental program is carried out in order to …

Crack characteristics of M45-ECC and HFA-ECC specimens pre-loaded to strain levels of
0.3%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% were investigated in this paper. This was done at different ages …

Concrete is a very common material consisting of a mixture of aggregates (sand, gravel,
crashed rock) and paste (cement, water and additives). The paste component, made up …

Abstract Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) normally contains large amount of
cementitious materials (eg cement and fly ash), together with its self-controlled tight crack …

A method for testing self-healing mortar beams with embedded capillary tubes of glue is
reported. The findings from a series of trial tests with different amounts of conventional …

This paper explores the effects of single and binary use of nano-additions on the self-
sensing and self-healing efficiencies of cementitious composites in achieving a material that …

This paper is the second part of a companion paper study focused on the autogenous self-
healing capacity of High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites …

The project detailed in this paper aims at a thorough characterization of the effects of
crystalline admixtures, currently employed as porosity reducing admixtures, on the self …

In this paper a methodology of characterization of both autogenic and engineered self-
healing of ordinary concrete, with or without a crystalline admixture, has been assessed. The …
