Cementitious materials are the most widely used building materials all over the word.
However, deterioration is inevitable even since the very beginning of the service life, then …

The development of self‐healing materials is now being considered for real engineering
applications. Over the past few decades, there has been a huge interest in materials that can …

Asphalt mastic is a self-healing material. Cracks may develop in the asphalt mixture as a
result of different factors, such as repeated traffic loads or freeze–thaw cycles. But, once a …

This article introduces the concept of self-healing concrete for sustainable infrastructure
through reduction of maintenance and repair in the use phase. To realize this goal, self …

Challenging studies of engineered self-healing and self-repairing functions in concrete
structures are briefly reviewed. While self-healing of concrete has been studied for a long …

As half of the annual construction budget is spent on remediation of existing structures, self-
healing of concrete, which is very sensitive to cracking, would be highly desirable. In this …

Cracks, caused by shrinkage and external loading, facilitate the ingress of aggressive and
harmful substances into concrete and indeed reduce the durability of the structures. It is well …

Experimental studies are carried out to evaluate the self-healing capability of FRCC using
different types of synthetic fibers that have different chemical properties, ie poly vinyl alcohol …

To repair concrete cracks in difficult or dangerous conditions such as underground
structures or hazardous liquid containers, self healing mechanism is a promising alternative …

Nuclei of unhydrated cement particles left in hardened cement paste after maturation can
provide self-healing capability to micro-cracked matrix under favorable conditions. In this …
