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 …

Self‐healing is a natural phenomenon whereby living organisms respond to damage.
Recently, considerable research efforts have been invested in self‐healing cementitious …

Self-healing is recognized as a promising technique for increasing the durability of concrete
structures by healing cracks, thereby reducing the need for maintenance activities over the …

Concrete is very sensitive to crack formation. As wide cracks endanger the durability, repair
may be required. However, these repair works raise the life-cycle cost of concrete as they …

The crack closure and self-healing efficiency of smart self-healing cementitious composite
can effectively reveal the mechanism of self-healing performance recovery. This study …
